Hello darkness, my old friend,
- @5 D' o/ R5 l5 \+ U* L- n& ZIve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
% F7 }% @) C7 z3 _9 f0 }* W& f6 OLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
+ `+ j) u) c0 t+ |And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

( C/ x8 ~+ `9 o5 U$ x, VIn restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
' P" f. a+ E2 K& I6 J- y+ kI turned my collar to the cold and damp

And in the naked light I saw
9 a* i( B7 J* m  m: DTen thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
/ E& ~0 s+ T. S$ f8 A6 SPeople writing songs that voices never share
' x( _6 r( C6 M2 z; rAnd no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

And echoed

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.

In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets

And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
