Hello Darkness, My Old FriendI've Come To Talk With You AgainBecause A Vision Softly CreepingLeft Its Seeds While I Was SleepingAnd The Vision That Was Planted In My BrainStill Remains..Within The Sound Of SilenceIn Restless Dreams I Walked AloneNarrow Streets Of Cobblestone'Neath The Halo Of A Street LampI Turned My Collar To The Cold And DampWhen My Eyes Were StabbedBy The Flash Of A Neon LightThat Split The Night..And Touched The Sound Of SilenceAnd In The Naked Light I SawTen Thousand People, Maybe MorePeople Talking Without SpeakingPeople Hearing Without ListeningPeople Writing SongsThat Voices Never ShareNo One DaredDisturb The Sound Of Silence"Fools", Said I "You Do Not Know"Silence Like A Cancer GrowsHear My Words That I Might Teach YouTake My Arms That I Might Reach YouBut My Words, Like Silent Raindrops FellAnd Echoed In The Wells Of SilenceAnd The People Bowed And PrayedAnd The Sign Flashed Out Its WarningIn The Words That It Was FormingAnd The Sign Said,"The Words Of The Prophets AreWritten On The Subway WallsAnd Tenement HallsAnd Whispered In The Sound Of Silence"
