[00:00.00]Sound Of Silence - Richard Stirton
[00:05.28]Written by:Paul Simon
[00:10.56]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:16.09]I've come to talk with you again
[00:22.12]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:28.59]Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
[00:36.38]And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:45.23]Still remains
[00:49.53]Within' the sound of silence
[01:00.35]In restless dreams I walked alone
[01:06.66]Narrow streets of cobblestone
[01:12.73]'Neath the halo of a street lamp
[01:18.51]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:26.27]When my eyes were stabbed by
[01:29.73]The flash of a neon light
[01:35.10]That split the night
[01:39.70]And touched the sound of silence
[01:47.29]And in the naked light I saw
[01:53.41]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:59.68]People talking without speaking
[02:05.82]People hearing without listening
[02:10.49]People writing songs that voices never share
[02:20.87]And no one dared
[02:25.43]Disturb the sound of silence
[02:33.41]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:39.32]To the neon god they made
[02:45.54]And the sign flashed out it's warning
[02:51.50]Under the words it was forming
[02:57.64]And the sign said
[02:59.61]The words of the prophets are
[03:03.13]Written on the subway walls
[03:08.03]And tenement halls
[03:13.29]And whispered in the sound of silence
