Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel Sound Of Silence Lyrics

hello darknees my old friend
i've come to talk with you again
beacause a vision soflty creeping
left its seeds while i was sleeping
and the vision that was planted in my brain
still remain
within the sound of silence
in resless 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
the split the night
and touch 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 writting songs that voices never share
no one dare
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 sign said. " the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls"
and tenement halls
and whisper'd in the sound of silence
