The Sound of Silence

The Sound of Silence - Sachal Vasandani/Romain Collin/Paul Simon (保羅·西蒙)

Composed by：Paul Simon

Hello darkness

My old friend

I've come to talk

With you again

Because a vision

Softly creeping

Left it's 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 shared

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

Fools said I

Do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that

I might teach you

Take my arms that

I might reach you

But my words

Like silent raindrops fell

In the wells

Of silence

And the people bowed

And prayed

To the neon God they made

And the sign flashed out

It's warning

In the words that

It was forming

Then the sign said

The words on the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

In tenement halls

And whispered in

The sound of silence
