Sound of Silence

hello,darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again because a vision softly creeping I left the seeds while I was sleeping, and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains with in the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobble stone neath the halo of a street lamp turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 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 no one dare disturb the sound of silence Fools said I you do not know SILENCE LIKE 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 walls of silence and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made and the sign flached out it's warning In the words that it was forming and the signs said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and whisper'd in the sound of silence
