　　The Sound Of Silence

　　Simon and Garfunkel

　　Hello darkness, my old friend,

　　I've come to talk with you again,

　　Because a vision softly creeping,

　　Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

　　And the vision that was planted in my brain

　　Still remains

　　Within the sound of silence.

　　In restless dreams I walked alone

　　Narrow streets of cobblestone,

　　'Neath the halo of a street lamp,

　　I turned my collar to the cold and damp

　　When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of

　　a neon light

　　That split the night

　　And touched the sound of silence.

　　And in the naked light I saw

　　Ten thousand people, maybe more.

　　People talking without speaking,

　　People hearing without listening,

　　People writing songs that voices never share

　　And no one deared

　　Disturb the sound of silence.

　　"Fools" said I,"You do not know

　　Silence like a cancer grows.

　　Hear my words that I might teach you,

　　Take my arms that I might reach you."

　　But my words like silent raindrops fell,

　　And echoed

　　In the wells of silence

　　And the people bowed and prayed

　　To the neon god they made.

　　And the sign flashed out its warning,

　　In the words that it was forming.

　　And the signs said, The words of the prophets

　　are written on the subway walls

　　And tenement halls.

　　And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
