Sounds Of Silence - The Dickies

Hello darkness, my old friend

I’ve come to talk to you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds when I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sounds of silence

And all the nights I walked alone

Down the streets of cobblestone

Beneath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

But what I saw there was the flash of a neon light

It hit the night

That split the sounds of silence

People line up even now

I wanna tell 'em where to go

Well, take my ears that I might hear you

Take my arms that I might reach you

And the sign said, «The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls»

Whispered sounds of silence

Yeah, they’re the sounds of silence

Within the sounds of silence
