Simon And Garfunkel – The Sound Of Silence lyrics

[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
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

[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
And no one dared

Disturb The Sound Of Silence

[Verse 4]
"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 to you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells Of Silence

[Verse 5 ]
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...

[Outro]
