Sound Of Silence

Sound Of Silence - Richard Stirton

Written 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 share

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out it's warning

Under the words it was forming

And the sign said

The words of the prophets are

Written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sound of silence
