Hello darkness, my old friend,
$ Q+ `* ~9 k5 C+ l  kIve come to talk with you again,
% i% |# Z9 A0 C' ~+ R+ O) ZBecause a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
9 r9 p# r. v3 h, B( y8 j& dAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
# ^: B5 j+ @& b* Y3 ?& GStill remains
5 V5 b# i( b+ K1 H: B* Y  TWithin the sound of silence.

1 ?0 k+ L5 p: _8 @4 xIn restless dreams I walked alone

neath the halo of a street lamp,
7 L# p2 n: \8 x8 i  vI turned my collar to the cold and damp
- A6 D7 x; c1 z$ fWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

' Z6 t: ?4 {. Y' s7 P, ?Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,

People writing songs that voices never share

And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

In the words that it was forming.

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