Hello darkness, my old friend,
) q0 \6 [3 `& MIve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
( O! X& e) y) Y3 m, {2 KLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
' _' p6 P& |! e  S! U5 |/ ~# MAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
0 r; d- ~8 t& T1 M3 y; @Still remains
, n6 |0 h7 r3 Y5 bWithin the sound of silence.

/ e! u2 B7 F1 X5 V' Q1 F- m7 K3 H# jIn restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
9 N0 S" G8 D, MI turned my collar to the cold and damp
! X) r4 `6 ~) ]( e( s5 F; \* EWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
* d7 F% \4 E9 a- J8 X' nThat split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

3 Y" Y! A" f$ t* GAnd in the naked light I saw

People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share

3 X' c& i. h4 i: M# T+ KDisturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
) d: J5 k4 C: |; m! R2 x& k& HSilence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
, m5 K( E* p6 U2 e8 X4 ZTake my arms that I might reach you.

% t# P1 D, p; N  n
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
1 S* b. W6 C" eAnd the signs said, the words of the prophets

3 A& [2 r3 }0 j: w6 NAnd tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
