Sound of Silence Lyric | Simon and Garfunkel |  |  | THE BEST OF SIMON & GARFUNKEL |  |
| | | | |
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.
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 And no one dared Disturb the sound of
silence.
"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 you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the
wells of silence
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 signs said, The words of the prophets are written on the
subway walls And tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds of
silence.
