Sounds Of Silence - The Les Humphries Singers

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

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

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 dared

To speak the sound

Of silence

Fools said I 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

In the well

And echoed the sound

Of silence

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

Of silence
