VERSE 1:
Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you 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

VERSE 2:
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
That split the night
And touched the sound - of silence

VERSE 3:
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without - speaking
People hearing without - listening

People writing songs
That voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound - of silence

VERSE 4:
Fools, said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might - teach you
Take my arms that I might - reach you

But my words - like silent raindrops fell ─
And echoed - in the wells - of silence

VERSE 5:
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

And the sign said
“The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered - in the sounds - of silence
