Sounds Of Silence

Sounds 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

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

In the words that it was forming

And the signs said the words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds of silence
