Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
% j# h* C$ A2 d* bBecause a vision softly creeping,
" `3 p( a% ~" a, y6 B0 Z" GLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
8 U/ X* H) Q7 s) l% ^4 j3 PAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
+ Q7 r2 v- z/ J5 nWithin the sound of silence.

; h( u6 D3 e# IIn restless dreams I walked alone
, O' Z" v- D7 @0 J# \Narrow streets of cobblestone,
5 n' p2 l/ C+ ]* g) Bneath the halo of a street lamp,
% v) ?9 L6 U+ uI turned my collar to the cold and damp
; A+ Y! n4 e: z  xWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
3 O& L/ |; T% n7 E% w. {And touched the sound of silence.
& c: ~/ g3 c: {* j
' s6 w" K; D( M  Y) DAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
. r: q- k; Q8 L' KPeople talking without speaking,
1 p# R0 O; D" c) E7 BPeople hearing without listening,

And no one deared

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

# Y/ O8 E5 y8 S  q8 jBut my words like silent raindrops fell,
( k( _9 H; v* a* HAnd echoed
In the wells of silence
4 R: W: |. V1 M  G* E* D2 l
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.

Are written on the subway walls

( \9 ^/ \, I5 Q" P2 ^And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
