Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
$ B% b; l& `/ d$ }4 y+ D8 ^7 NLeft 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
- a, i1 H" N( P/ R2 e  [, sNarrow 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
) z( ?; R  N* aThat split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
& e1 B0 |1 V/ c8 C6 E1 e3 v/ ZPeople talking without speaking,
