1
Hello darkness, my old friend,
2
I've come to talk with you again,
3
Because a vision softly creeping,
4
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
5
And the vision that was planted in my brain
6
Still remains
7
Within the sound of silence.
8
In restless dreams I walked alone
9
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
10
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
11
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
12
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
13
That split the night
14
And touched the sound of silence.
15
And in the naked light I saw
16
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
17
People talking without speaking,
18
People hearing without listening,
19
People writing songs that voices never share
20
And no one dare
21
Disturb the sound of silence.
22
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
23
Silence like a cancer grows.
24
Hear my words that I might teach you,
25
Take my arms that I might reach you."
26
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
27
And echoed
28
In the wells of silence
29
And the people bowed and prayed
30
To the neon god they made.
31
And the sign flashed out its warning,
32
In the words that it was forming.
33
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
34
Are written on the subway walls
35
And tenement halls."
36
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
