Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
% }. V" l7 g. O- i, GAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
8 C* ?8 v: H' [; XNarrow streets of cobblestone,
8 `4 r5 u9 E, \" u& j, L. aneath the halo of a street lamp,
( ]8 A2 [  E0 z) iI turned my collar to the cold and damp
4 h2 n' J. R4 k7 e& d: |) V6 oWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.

Disturb the sound of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
