Sound Of SHence

Simon . Garfimkr!
Hello darkness
my old friend

I've come to talk

with you again
Because a vision

softly creeping

left it seed

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
'Neath the halo of
eighth street lamp

I turned my collar

to the cold and damp
Split the night

and touched the sound

ofsnence
And in the naked light

I saw

ten thousand people

maybe more
People talking

without speakin'

people hearing

without listenin'
People writing songs
that voices never share
no one dare

disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I 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

echo t0 the world of silence
And the people

bowed and prayed

to the neon God they made
And the sign flashed

out it's warnin'
in the words

that it was formin'
And the sign said
the words of the prophets
are written on the subway

walls and tenement halls
Whispered the sound

ofsnence
