The Sound Of Silence from Nashville SoundsHere is the lyrics for The Sound Of Silence We hope that you enjoy them just asmuch as we here at International Lyrics DataBase do. Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I wa-as sleeping And the vision that was planted In my brain, still remai-ains 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 ni-ight 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 tha-at voices Never share, and no one dare-are Disturb the sound of silence Fools said I, you do not know Silence like the 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 silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said The words of the prophet Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence |
