Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
% _# m. k" r0 d* j1 yBecause a vision softly creeping,
1 j/ H1 s# D$ C* XLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
0 Q' _6 ]( S2 y& p* W4 W( g, FStill remains
8 S, ^1 p6 w0 q' d0 y7 e8 L4 c$ ?Within the sound of silence.

3 U+ u: h; N+ a) a0 uIn restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
+ H6 m9 f; B7 A3 j3 c" C) o5 n6 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
9 w! U. o9 r& tA neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

: ~7 U5 O; X8 h6 v0 ~) jPeople talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
  j5 D$ X3 C8 {7 |( kPeople writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared

Fools said i,you do not know
7 I1 _/ U5 P( s) Y! `Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
' ]" V. p4 a6 q/ YTake my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,

: [8 c7 i- S0 hAnd the signs said, the words of the prophets

And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
