싸이몬 앤드 가펑클
Hello darkness
my old friend
I've come to talk
with you again
Because a vision
softly creeping
left the 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 cobble stone
Beneath 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
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 no one dare
disturb the sound
of silence
Fools 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 silence
And the people
bowed and prayed
to the neon god
they made
And the sign flached 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 whisper'd
in the sounds
of silence
