Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping Left its scenes 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 street lamp
I turned my color to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stammed 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 dare
Disturb the sound
I'm silence fool said I you do not know silence like a cancer grow here my words
Words that I might teach you
Take my arms and 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 And the words that it was forming
In the silence and the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
