Hello darkness, my old friend,
  S; Q3 R4 D$ VIve come to talk with you again,
2 E, a9 q% _8 B5 h9 B0 ZBecause a vision softly creeping,
" C7 D' P& V- |' k2 g* N; {) sLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
" K# Z- p) r) E1 B  |And the vision that was planted in my brain
. U. D7 n* y' h* J& D8 }" n" PStill remains
Within the sound of silence.

+ E, X; o8 k& ~6 ^! n& A9 {% bIn 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
: v$ `; V' G  D$ @* w) V; nWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
- K' L$ i& z# R$ x1 B/ eThat split the night
0 z% \+ H( g% L3 K; w0 R: XAnd touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
% e. L* f7 j* L' k! h' r% dTen thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
0 j$ Y# p+ M+ K4 O4 S; A( T/ lPeople hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
$ P# {- ~+ F. h) T: z2 @Silence like a cancer grows.
. u6 R/ E8 [0 l3 g# Y$ `: k1 S4 THear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
# Z' d# l2 B) \2 CAnd echoed

And the people bowed and prayed

And the signs said, the words of the prophets
- B( g! ?% k: z+ ^! RAre written on the subway walls

And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
