Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
- b2 a% o0 A! XBecause a vision softly creeping,
; T* U3 g1 p6 x9 XLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
/ U! u$ V& w2 Q& P, bStill remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
8 b0 N/ a+ s+ ]. n; QI turned my collar to the cold and damp
5 G9 i( e2 J9 J: d. [5 S) l& I; DWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
( E5 P1 z4 E$ f4 lA neon light
9 u8 n9 G8 s' T) I; C/ x  cThat split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

0 H1 G) c1 B4 bAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
2 x/ k. j# j& vPeople hearing without listening,

And no one deared

Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.

To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.

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