Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk to you again Because a vision softly creeping Left it's 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 and cobble stones 'Neath the halo of a streetlight I turn 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 whisper'd in the sounds of silence.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
