The Sound Of Silence
Written by Paul Simon
Copyright ©1965 Paul Simon Music BMI
HEIR APPARENT arrangement by Terry Gorle -1987

Hello darkness my old friend
Ive come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And a 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
-And 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 whispered in the sounds of silence

I have that CD. Paul Davidson gave it to me at one of his birthdays when he reunited with Terry and played a set in his backyard. I also received Graceful Inheritence and Triad along with it!
