Hello darkness
my old friend
I've come
2 talk with U 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 walk alone
Narrow streets of
cobble stone
Neath the halo of
a street lamp
I turned my collar
2 the cold damp
When my eyes
were stabbled
by the flash of
a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound
of silence
And in the naked
night I saw
Ten thousand people
maybe more
People talking
without speaking
People hearing
without listening
People writing
songs that voices
never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound
of silence
Fool said I U
do not know
Silence like a
cancer grows
Hear my words that
I might teach U
Take my arms that
I might reach U
But my words
like silent
rain-drops fell
And echoed
in the wells
of silence
Within sounds
of silence
