Hello darkness, my old friend,
) [! K8 V" _# F. j/ m  ZIve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
/ v, M; Q3 f! m3 H' H. {Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
* S7 P# I8 o( D1 ]- x" _; yAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
: Z( V* l9 m  \$ \neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
; J, }1 m; F2 EWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of

! i7 K- y' L3 t8 YThat split the night

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
- b% B1 q5 F, S2 |+ APeople talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared

* u6 G  N' S, ^6 C5 {1 UFools said i,you do not know
2 L# x, r3 ~+ y' K0 w  \8 fSilence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
7 g: s0 X/ j0 a0 D3 }And echoed
In the wells of silence
  q  A+ I! C0 t7 U! o

And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
9 U4 Y1 ^! s* d/ V/ v! BAre written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
