[id:$00000000] [ti:The Sound of Silence] [ar:Paul Simon] [al:Songwriter] [by:] [00:00.00]The Sound of Silence - Paul Simon [00:56.09]Hello darkness my old friend [01:01.00]I've come to talk with you again [01:05.36]Because a vision softly creeping [01:10.30]Left it's seeds while I was sleeping [01:15.07]And the vision that was planted [01:19.51]In my brain still remains [01:25.98]Withing the sound of silence [01:31.85]In restless dreams I walked alone [01:36.96]Narrow streets of cobblestone [01:42.01]Neath the halo of a street lamp [01:46.39]I turned my collar to the cold and damp [01:51.71]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash [01:55.27]Of a neon light that split the night [02:02.56]And touched the sound of silence [02:09.18]And in the naked light I saw [02:13.39]Ten thousand people maybe more [02:18.43]People talking without speaking [02:23.18]People hearing without listening [02:28.05]People writing songs that voices [02:33.45]Never shared and no one dared [02:39.84]Disturb the sound of silence [02:45.96]Fools said I You do not know [02:50.24]Silence like a cancer grows [02:55.32]Hear my words that I might teach you [02:59.85]Take my arms that I might reach to you [03:04.85]But my words like silent raindrops fell [03:15.11]And echoed in the wells of silence [03:23.69]And the people bowed and prayed [03:28.02]To the neon god they made [03:33.11]And the sign flashed out it's warning [03:38.03]In the words that it was forming [03:42.47]Said The words of the prophets are written [03:46.40]On the subway walls and tenement halls [03:52.85]And whispered in the sounds of silence
