The Sound of Silence

作曲：Paul Simon

作词：Paul Simon

Hello darkness my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creep in

Left its 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

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 share

No one dared

No one dared disturb the sound

No one dared 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 and echoed in the wells

They echoed in the wells

They echoed in the wells

They echoed in the wells

Oh they echoed in the wells

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

Tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds

They whispered

In the sounds of silence
