hello darkness my old friend
<680, 1260><800, 1260><240, 1260><320, 1260><1220, 1260>
i've come to talk with you again
<520, 1260><320, 1260><280, 1260><360, 1260><440, 1260><480, 1260><1180, 1260>
because a vision softly creeping
<600, 1260><360, 1260><520, 1260><1160, 1260><1660, 1260>
left its seeds while i was sleeping
<600, 1260><320, 1260><400, 1260><280, 1260><400, 1260><720, 1260><1700, 1260>
and the vision that was planted in my brain
<480, 1260><320, 1260><1120, 1260><480, 1260><360, 1260><1280, 1260><360, 1260><680, 1260><1380, 1260>
still remains
<760, 1260><2999, 1260>
within the sound of silence
<760, 1260><240, 1260><960, 1260><520, 1260><1100, 1260>
in restless dreams i walked alone
<360, 1260><600, 1260><440, 1260><200, 1260><480, 1260><1060, 1260>
narrow streets of cobblestone
<520, 1260><440, 1260><360, 1260><1620, 1260>
neath the halo of a street lamp
<480, 1260><320, 1260><600, 1260><480, 1260><400, 1260><520, 1260><1100, 1260>
i turn my collar to the cold and dim
<440, 1260><360, 1260><400, 1260><520, 1260><400, 1260><400, 1260><560, 1260><440, 1260><1060, 1260>
my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
<520, 1260><520, 1260><320, 1260><1080, 1260><320, 1260><160, 1260><800, 1260><360, 1260><280, 1260><1080, 1260><1020, 1260>
that split the night
<600, 1260><560, 1260><280, 1260><1140, 1260>
and touched the sound of silence
<400, 1260><400, 1260><200, 1260><760, 1260><480, 1260><1060, 1260>
and in the naked light i saw
<480, 1260><360, 1260><160, 1260><480, 1260><480, 1260><760, 1260><1060, 1260>
ten thousand people maybe more
<200, 1260><680, 1260><640, 1260><1120, 1260><1380, 1260>
people talking without speaking
<800, 1260><640, 1260><1200, 1260><1540, 1260>
people hearing without listening
<760, 1260><640, 1260><1200, 1260><1159, 1260>
people writing songs that voices never share
<680, 1260><1120, 1260><2200, 1260><600, 1260><1320, 1260><960, 1260><1260, 1260>
no wonder
<360, 1260><1700, 1260>
disturb the sound of silence
<720, 1260><280, 1260><720, 1260><520, 1260><1460, 1260>
with thy lure of silence of silence
<40, 1260><120, 1260><360, 1260><520, 1260><720, 1260><480, 1260><1060, 1260>
fool said i you do not know
<520, 1260><400, 1260><320, 1260><280, 1260><400, 1260><600, 1260><660, 1260>
silence like a cancer grows
<840, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><920, 1260><3020, 1260>
my words that i might teach you
<320, 1260><480, 1260><320, 1260><240, 1260><880, 1260><480, 1260><1340, 1260>
take my arms that i might read you
<520, 1260><240, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><840, 1260><480, 1260><980, 1260>
but my words like summon raindrops fade
<560, 1260><240, 1260><2080, 1260><640, 1260><1200, 1260><1120, 1260><820, 1260>
and echoed in the world of silence
<480, 1260><960, 1260><160, 1260><280, 1260><480, 1260><480, 1260><1100, 1260>
and the people bowed and prayed
<160, 1260><360, 1260><600, 1260><320, 1260><240, 1260><1180, 1260>
to the neon god they've made
<480, 1260><360, 1260><680, 1260><600, 1260><480, 1260><980, 1260>
and the stars are shining falling
<480, 1260><280, 1260><720, 1260><40, 1260><760, 1260><1700, 1260>
and the words that you were eyes
<480, 1260><280, 1260><360, 1260><320, 1260><320, 1260><200, 1260><1180, 1260>
and the sign said the words of the prophets are in
<480, 1260><360, 1260><560, 1260><360, 1260><240, 1260><760, 1260><320, 1260><360, 1260><680, 1260><600, 1260><879, 1260>
on the subway walls and gentlemen
<40, 1260><400, 1260><960, 1260><1600, 1260><320, 1260><1460, 1260>
and whispered in the sound
<440, 1260><1120, 1260><200, 1260><120, 1260><1540, 1260>
of silence
<320, 1260><1540, 1260>
