Hello darkness, my old friend,
; N$ `' r& X) H/ [2 WIve come to talk with you again,
. h. Q8 K" Z8 g: a0 bBecause a vision softly creeping,
5 r8 ?3 K- n; J* N& [- R3 aLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
6 w8 M  g8 G0 V( XStill remains
+ k9 K, y' ?6 o3 ~, p: XWithin the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
" j* v) p/ V: g) YI turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
- e6 X9 A" ^& t) l0 Z, [! [A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

: E% g' t8 D9 n& oAnd in the naked light I saw

  _( _+ W1 j+ L+ c6 `6 P2 @5 hPeople talking without speaking,
" J: L1 U2 b5 r& J  p, `/ hPeople hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share

Disturb the sound of silence.
