Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
* O; O# u0 L' `) vBecause a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
# |4 }) z! q5 X1 L; NAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
( E0 p9 X  w6 ]/ v# o+ ?5 w. TStill remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
/ \: B& `2 w" x$ h. Dneath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
