The Sound of Silence

     

Paul Simon

Listen to the sound
Listen to the sound
Listen to the sound
of silence
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
In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobbled
stone '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.
saw
may be more
without speaking
People without listening

Oh Oh
Disturb the sound silence.
"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 silen rain drops fell
in the wells of silence
And the people bowes and prayed
to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warming
in the words that is was forming
And the signs said, "The words of the prophets are
written on the subway walls
and tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Listen to the sound
Listen to the sound
sound of silence
