Artist: Paul SimonTitle: Sound Of Silence[00:24.96]Hello darkness, my old friend,[00:29.83]I've come to talk with you again,[00:35.37]Because a vision softly creeping,[00:41.90]Left its seeds while I was sleeping,[00:47.13]And the vision that was planted in my brain[00:57.15]Still remains[01:00.14]Within the sound of silence.[01:09.81]In restless dreams I walked alone[01:14.13]Narrow streets of cobblestone,[01:21.17]'Neath the halo of a street lamp,[01:26.28]I turned my collar to the cold and damp[01:32.19]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light[01:40.70]That split the night[01:45.11]And touched the sound of silence.[01:55.88]And in the naked light I saw[02:10.33]Ten thousand people, maybe more.[02:15.25]People talking without speaking,[02:21.59]People hearing without listening,[02:28.46]People writing songs that voices never share[02:36.50]And no one dare[02:42.00]Disturb the sound of silence.[02:54.49]"Fools" said I, "You do not know[02:59.91]Silence like a cancer grows.[03:05.58]Hear my words that I might teach you,[03:10.73]Take my arms that I might reach you."[03:16.62]But my words like silent raindrops fell,[03:25.99]And echoed[03:31.36]In the wells of silence[03:38.54]And the people bowed and prayed[03:42.56]To the neon god they made.[03:47.65]And the sign flashed out its warning,[03:53.96]In the words that it was forming.[04:00.17]And the sign said, "The words of the prophets[04:04.80]are written on the subway walls[04:10.66]And tenement halls."[04:14.11]And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.[04:23.95]In the sounds of silence[04:31.94]In the sounds of silence
