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 were cold as 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
And in the hazy light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without hearing
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared to split the sound of silence
Who said that I did not know
Silence might not just so glow
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 the sound of silence
And the people knelt and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the silence sent out warning
In the words that it was forming
And the silence said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls, tenement halls"
Whisper the sounds of silence
