The Sound of Silence 歌詞

The Sound Of Silence - Carmen McRae

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 grows

 

Hear my words that I might teach you

 

Take my arms that I might reach to 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 the subway walls

 

And tenement halls

 

And whisper'd in the sounds of
