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 silenceIn restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and dampWhen my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silenceAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listeningPeople writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silenceFools, 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 you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silenceAnd the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
And the words that it was formingAnd the sign said
The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
Composição: Paul Simon.
