Intro
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
In Restless Dreams I Walked Alone
Down Narrow Boranes Of Cobblestone
Neath The Halo Of An Old 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
Verse 3
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
No One Dared Disturb The Sound Of Silence
Instrumental
Verse 4
Fool 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
Chorus
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 Sign Said
The Words Of The Prophets Are Written On The Subway Walls
And Tenement Halls
And Whispered In The Sound Of Silence
Instrumental
Verse 5
And The Vision Lingers Still
In The Quiet Of The Hill
Where The Wind Carries No Answer
And The Turf Fire Slowly Dies
No One Hears The Prophets Call
In The Endless Fall
The Silence
Chorus
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 Sign Said The Words Of The Prophets Are Written
On The Churchyard Walls
And Tenement Halls
And Whispered In The Sound Of Silence
