Sound of .... Silence

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 of cobblestone / '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 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 of silence

"Fools" said i "You do not know / Silence like a cancer grow / 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 subway walls / And tenement halls" / And whisper'd in the sounds of silence

Simon et Garfunkel (1965)
