The Sound Of Silence
(专辑: Gentleman Cambrioleur - 2009)
Hello, darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again Because a
vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I
was sleeping And the
vision that was planted in my brain still remains Within the
sound of silence, 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 shared and no one dared Disturb the
sound of silence, 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 in the
wells of silence, the
silence And the
people bowed and prayed to the
neon god they made And the
sign flashed out its 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 And whispered in the
sound of silence, in the
sound of silence...
