Verse One
 
 
 
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
silence
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Verse Two
 
 
 
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
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Verse Three
 
 
 
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
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Verse Four
 
 
 
"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
well
of
silence
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Verse Five
 
 
 
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
prophets
 
 
are
written
on
the
subway
walls
 
 
 
 
 
 
and
tenement
halls
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and
whispered
in
the
sounds
of
silence
"
