Hello darkness, my old friend,
- x# u' ~& h$ o0 \2 K8 Y, tIve come to talk with you again,
6 m, z% S' f. nBecause a vision softly creeping,
- j, Z- C7 M- c  Y9 V' [; g" w6 XLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
+ h/ Z' d3 r& I, n0 V1 t/ UStill remains
2 |8 Q% p" p( T. F# |9 eWithin the sound of silence.
! f1 m% ^: }7 T. u7 M' N
1 n6 S! t4 c' H# n. xIn restless dreams I walked alone
  n6 u7 h0 X" w% V; x* [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
9 A1 c# S: ~5 J& E5 rA neon light
) f/ u! p7 l0 |' o# ~) H  k3 r* |! @That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

; W0 ~; e) e+ H3 c; M' I! gAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
$ N, c. m6 e1 p6 gPeople talking without speaking,
) V9 A. q$ i' H0 J2 E, FPeople hearing without listening,
  @# M1 i4 o1 b- zPeople writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

- n! E4 H- }8 X  m1 ]Fools said i,you do not know
+ N* e/ s$ S+ A( R- z/ O- `Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
: V4 ?, V( m$ [9 YTake my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
- d. X, A) |* w8 `In the wells of silence
3 t* s' r1 m! Z+ @5 j
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
3 p# U! C5 ?) ]2 m+ hIn the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
0 L9 O8 l* g5 k7 P, @And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
