Hello darkness, my old friend,
0 k4 ^7 t7 E  f+ C  h) O$ HIve 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

In restless dreams I walked alone

I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of

And touched the sound of silence.
