Sound Of Silence - Simon

[00:04.970]Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:08.590]I've come to talk with you again.
[00:13.070]Because a vision softly creeping.
[00:16.780]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:22.940]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:28.630]Still remains.
[00:33.410]Within the sound of silence !
[00:38.960]In restless dreams I walked alone.
[00:43.540]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:47.960]'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[00:52.280]I turned my collar to the cold & damp.
[00:57.030]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light.
[01:04.130]That split the night.
[01:07.880]And touched the sound of silence.
[01:13.160]And in the naked light I saw.
[01:17.650]Ten thousand people maybe more.
[01:23.400]People talking without speaking.
[01:27.450]People hearing without listening.
[01:32.100]People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:39.520]And no one dare.
[01:42.880]Disturb the sound of silence.
[01:48.990]\"Fool\" said I \"You do not know.
[01:53.180]\"Silence like a cancer grows.
[01:57.460]\"Hear my words that I might teach you.
[02:02.100]\"Take my arms that I might reach you.
[02:06.270]But my words like silent rain-drops fell.
[02:15.680]And echoed in the wells of silence.
[02:23.100]And the people bow & prayed.
[02:27.380]To the neon God they made.
[02:33.970]And the sign flash out its warning.
[02:38.520]In the words that it was forming.
[02:43.100]And the sign said \"The words of the prophets.
[02:46.820]Are written on the subway walls & tenement halls
[02:54.010]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
