Simon & Garfunkel play 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
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
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 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 share
No one dare
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 whispered in the sounds of silence"
