Hello darkness, my old friend,
( m' W3 d% B% a, T2 s0 `" i$ `/ [Ive come to talk with you again,
! E  n' ~+ e3 ]Because a vision softly creeping,
9 ~4 |8 |% ^* V' w5 z9 `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
: y; u9 x0 j2 s9 cNarrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.

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 whisperd in the sounds of silence.
