Hello darkness...The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon<br /><br />Hello darkness my old friend<br />I've come to talk with you again<br />Because a vision softly creeping<br />Left its seeds while I was sleeping<br />And the vision that was planted in my brain <br />Still remains<br />Within the sound of silence<br /><br />In restless dreams I walked alone <br />Narrow streets of cobblestone <br />'Neath the halo of a street lamp<br />I turned my collar to the cold and damp<br />When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light <br />That split the night <br />And touched the sound of silence<br /><br />And in the naked light I saw<br />Ten thousand people maybe more<br />People talking without speaking<br />People hearing without listening<br />People writing songs that voices never share<br />No one dared<br />Disturb the sound of silence<br /><br />Fools, said I, You do not know<br />Silence like a cancer grows<br />Hear my words that I might teach you<br />Take my arms that I might reach you<br />But my words like silent raindrops fell; <br />Echoed in the wells of silence<br /><br />And the people bowed and prayed<br />To the neon god they made <br />And the sign flashed its warning<br />In the words that it was forming <br />And the sign said the words of the prophets <br />Are written on the subway walls<br />And tenement halls, <br />Whispered in the sound of silence.<br />gbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435049339082622611noreply@blogger.com
