Hello darkness, my old friend;Hello darkness, my old friend;I've come to talk with you again.I've come to talk with you again.Because a vision softly creepingBecause a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,Left its seeds while I was sleeping,And the vision that was planted in my brainAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence.Still remains within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone,In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobblestone. Narrow streets of cobblestone.'Neath the halo of a street lamp,'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and dampI turned my collar to the cold and dampWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon lightWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night, and touched the sound of silence.That split the night, and touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I sawAnd in the naked light I sawTen thousand people, maybe more.Ten thousand people, maybe more.People talking without speaking,People talking without speaking,People hearing without listening,People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never shared.People writing songs that voices never shared.And no one dared disturb the sound of silence.And no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
