Sound Of Silence Lyrics

Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creepin', Left it's seeds while I was sleepin', And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence

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
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 dare Disturb the sound of silence

And the people bowed and prayed To the neon God they made And the sign flashed out it's warnin', In the words that it was formin' And the words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls Whisper'd the sounds of silence
