Sound of Silence

Sound of Silence - Luke Sital-Singh

Composed by：Paul Simon

Hello darkness my old friend

I've come to talk to 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 remain

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 is stabbed by the flash of a neon light

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 dared

Disturb the sound

Of silence

Fools said I

You do not know

Silence like a cancer grow

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed

In the well

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

And the sign said the words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement hall

And whispered in the sound

Of silence
