Sounds of Silence - Ray Conniff[00:00:00]
Hello darkness my old friend[00:00:03]
I've come to talk with you again[00:00:07]
Because a vision softly creeping[00:00:11]
Left its seeds while I was sleeping[00:00:16]
And the vision that was planted in my brain[00:00:20]
Still remains[00:00:27]
Within the sound of silence[00:00:30]
In restless dreams I walked alone[00:00:36]
Narrow streets of cobblestone[00:00:40]
'Neath the halo of a street lamp[00:00:45]
I turned my collar to the cold and damp[00:00:49]
When my eyes were stabbed by[00:00:53]
The flash of a neon light[00:00:55]
That split the night[00:00:59]
And touched the sound of silence[00:01:03]
And in the naked light I saw[00:01:08]
Ten thousand people maybe more[00:01:12]
People talking without speaking[00:01:17]
People hearing without listening[00:01:21]
People writing songs that voices never share[00:01:25]
And no one dared[00:01:32]
Disturb the sound of silence[00:01:35]
"Fools" said I "You do not know[00:01:41]
Silence like a cancer grows[00:01:45]
Hear my words that I might teach you[00:01:49]
Take my arms that I might reach you"[00:01:54]
But my words like silent raindrops fell[00:01:57]
And echoed[00:02:07]
In the wells of silence[00:02:08]
And the people bowed and prayed[00:02:14]
To the neon god they made[00:02:18]
And the sign flashed out its warning[00:02:22]
In the words that it was forming[00:02:26]
And the sign said [00:02:30]
"The words of the prophets are[00:02:32]
Written on the subway walls[00:02:34]
And tenement halls"[00:02:37]
And whispered in the sounds of silence[00:02:40]
