The Sound of Silence - Forte Di Quattro

作词：Paul Simon

作曲：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

Of silence

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 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 shared

And no one dared

No one dared disturb the sound of silence

Of silence 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 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 sign said

The words of the prophets are written

On the subway walls and tenement halls

And whispered in the sound

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
