Paul Simon – The Sound Of Silence Lyrics

Artist: Paul Simon
Song: 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 cobblestone

Beneath 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
Split the night, and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Tеn thousand people, maybe morе
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared disturb the sound of 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 silent raindrops, fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

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 whisper in the sound of silence”
