[ti:The Sound Of Silence] [ar:Paul Simon] [00:00.00]The sound of silence [00:01.00]Paul Simon [00:02.00] [00:04.09]Hello darkness my old friend. [00:09.16]I've come to talk with you again. [00:14.10]Because a vision softly creeping [00:19.49]Left its seeds while I was sleeping. [00:24.44]And the vision that was planted in my brain [00:31.63]Still remains with the sound of silence [00:41.82]In restless dreams I walk alone [00:46.50]Narrow streets of cobble stone [00:51.24]Beneath the hallo of a street lamp, [00:55.65]I turned my collar to the cold and damp [01:00.27]When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light [01:06.99]That split the night [01:10.46]And touched the sound of silence [01:15.00] [01:16.01]And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more [01:24.76]People talking without speaking hearing without listening [01:33.50]People writing songs that voices never share [01:41.09]And no one dare disturb the sound of silence [01:48.63] [01:49.95]"Fool" said I "you do not know [01:54.25]Silence like a cancer grows [01:58.54]Hear my words that I might teach you [02:02.85]Take my arms that I might reach you [02:06.98]But my words like silent rain-drops fell [02:16.26]And echo-ed in the wells of silence [02:23.49]And the people bow and prayed [02:27.58]to the neon God they made [02:31.78]And the sign flash out its warning [02:36.28]In the words that it was forming [02:40.34]And the sings said "The words of the prophers are [02:43.93]written the subway walls and tenement halls" [02:50.46]And whispered in the sounds of silence [02:58.00]
