   echoed      hearing      its      light      said      softly      stabbed      subway      that      turned      walked      whispered   

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered walls
And tenement halls"
And echoedhearingitslightsaidsoftlystabbedsubwaythatturnedwalkedwhispered in the sounds of silence
