Hello darkness my old friend
and the vision
in restless dreams i walk alone
narrow streets of cobblestone
that split the night and
touched the sound of silence
Without listening
and no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
hear my words i might teach
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said,

I've come to speak with you again
planted in my brain
within the sound of silence
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
when my eyes were stabbed
and in the naked light, i saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
but my words like silent rain fell
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"

Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while i was sleeping
still remains
i turn my collar to cold & damp
by a flash of neon light
speaking people hearing
People writing songs that voices never share
take my arms i might reach
To the neon god they made
And whispered in the sound of silence

Sound: ON
