Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
& ?; M+ ^2 J' }9 E0 wWithin the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
7 s( J' A" a  kAnd touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
