Hello darkness, my old friend,
4 z2 ]  ?$ {+ s' O3 yIve come to talk with you again,
+ [* H: L; J6 i+ kBecause a vision softly creeping,
  M9 x9 s& g3 H/ r7 DLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
# W6 _: B; K* \$ p1 HAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
! ]: J/ w6 i8 F  `( t( g3 }Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
. F+ J, Y5 F  G0 M: fneath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
. N; V8 H0 J4 n% p$ m# ?When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
0 Q& _0 y4 c! f4 g6 I+ n# gThat split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

+ H# I/ I# _! H; G$ A7 qAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
9 s7 Q$ ]2 F/ MPeople hearing without listening,
9 a% [# n' `; E7 GPeople writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
4 P1 N; J% }7 r4 pSilence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
( _* J* |7 |0 B/ `2 {Take my arms that I might reach you.
# v; `  l3 B; |* [4 L; hBut my words like silent raindrops fell,
1 G) O! z+ |1 m  s1 HAnd echoed
5 Z5 h6 A9 \7 r* K5 s# NIn the wells of silence

6 z# w' D1 V: f( r/ A! u* aAnd the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
3 z  M% y( S% e9 k& N6 ~. _. VAnd the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
0 n4 k6 y' {; Y* XAnd the signs said, the words of the prophets

And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
