[ti:The Sound of silence] [ar:《畢業生》插曲] [al:] [00:03.41]Hello darkness my old friend [00:07.71]I've come to talk with you again [00:12.55]Because a vision softly creeping [00:17.41]Left its seeds while I was sleeping [00:22.25]And the vision that was planted [00:26.31]In my brain still remains [00:32.64]Within the sound of silence [00:38.65]In restless dreams I walked along [00:43.34]Narrow streets of cobble stone [00:48.02]Beneath the halo of a street lamp [00:52.66]I turned my collar to the cold and damp [00:57.50]When my eyes were stabbed [00:59.81]By the flash of a neon light [01:04.31]That split the light [01:07.96]And touched the sound of silence [01:13.96]And in the naked light I saw [01:18.49]Ten thousand people maybe more [01:23.42]People talking without speaking [01:28.15]People hearing without listening [01:32.79]People writing songs that voices never share [01:40.96]And no one dare [01:43.33]Disturb the sound of silence [01:49.29]"Fool" said I,"You do not know [01:54.13]Silence like a cancer grows [01:58.56]Hear my words that I might teach you [02:03.36]Take my arms that I might reach you" [02:08.14]But my words like silent raindrops fell [02:18.33]And echoed in the walls of silence [02:25.73]And the people bowed and prayed [02:30.41]To the neon god they made [02:35.12]And the sign flashed out its warning [02:39.80]In the words that it was forming [02:44.51]And the signs said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls [02:53.33]And tenement halls" [02:55.50]Whispering in the sounds of silence
