Simon and Garfunkel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello darkness, my old friend,<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve come to talk with you again,<\/strong><\/span>
\nBecause a vision softly creeping,<\/strong><\/span>
\nLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd the vision that was planted in my brain<\/strong><\/span>
\nStill remains<\/strong><\/span>
\nWithin the sound of silence.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

in restless dream i worked alone<\/strong><\/span>
\nnarow streets of cobblestone,<\/strong><\/span>
\n‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,<\/strong><\/span>
\nI turned my collar to the cold and damp<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light<\/strong><\/span>
\nThat split the night<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd touched the sound of silence.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And in the naked light I saw<\/strong><\/span>
\nTen thousand people, maybe more.<\/strong><\/span>
\nPeople talking without speaking,<\/strong><\/span>
\nPeople hearing without listening,<\/strong><\/span>
\nPeople writing songs that voices never share<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd no one dare<\/strong><\/span>
\nDisturb the sound of silence.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Fools’ said I, ‘You do not know<\/strong><\/span>
\nSilence like a cancer grows.<\/strong><\/span>
\nHear my words that I might teach you,<\/strong><\/span>
\nTake my arms that I might reach you.’<\/strong><\/span>
\nBut my words like silent raindrops fell,<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd echoed<\/strong><\/span>
\nIn the wells of silence<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And the people bowed and prayed<\/strong><\/span>
\nTo the neon god they made.<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd the sign flashed out its warning,<\/strong><\/span>
\nIn the words that it was forming.<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd the sign said, ‘The words of the prophets<\/strong><\/span>
\nare written on the subway walls<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd tenement halls.’<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd whisper’d in the sounds of silence.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
