Hello darkness, my old friend,
* r" U" [( k; S8 T( Y& n, yIve come to talk with you again,
  C6 N6 f( `" a0 K) yBecause a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
0 L: P# ]' y/ ^# _5 E/ j# t2 u$ uAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
- H9 ?* B( K0 H8 h5 q) E
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath 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
% }7 {3 V6 x% ?+ D) D1 X: ]$ V3 RThat split the night
: V0 `0 C/ L* z3 g  {, l8 }And touched the sound of silence.

  t$ G* s! G* f3 [6 p" N! \: d$ GAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
$ a4 _; B* r1 H1 g, s5 w& y" C/ @  \People talking without speaking,
* o4 J, l4 P* d3 |People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
. _+ o2 n6 U/ M( j) ]And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,

In the wells of silence

And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
