Hello darkness, my old friend,
% L6 d( k: A5 v% fIve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And 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,
' P8 [* S! W% h8 xneath the halo of a street lamp,
( [, V" [' c0 c" n* B! CI turned my collar to the cold and damp
2 M8 |+ r6 \3 L' _7 ZWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of

People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share

And echoed
In the wells of silence

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
And tenement halls.
