Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
! h# S- w+ a. R. i6 m. GLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
% Q  x( r! [' Y1 i  ]9 O- f$ DStill remains
$ E3 ^8 Q" y; ^& Y5 S$ ?Within the sound of silence.
# P" c# |* r, Q1 p0 j
0 ^, R6 J  M9 Q8 r: T3 N$ O+ _In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
: B2 y$ ~2 ?9 B. _9 h# hneath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
" c- M1 o6 a! wA neon light
  q# K: W8 a& \* \0 ^That split the night
' A: y5 u. s% e2 z+ S* ?0 \And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
0 l* n1 l7 b; \) W3 l& JTen thousand people, maybe more.
2 C' R; n2 q6 v0 ]5 mPeople talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
! r' x2 O( j6 c0 U; A7 ?+ i4 s* c# TPeople writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.

Take my arms that I might reach you.

In the wells of silence
