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


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
And 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
In the wells of 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 in the sounds of silence

I wasn't aware the Stones had ever done a recording of this. I'd only heard it by Dylan and a few covers. The Stones do a pretty good job. :)



 
im probably not playing this right, but im currently listening to my 12 year old cat snoring across the room...very very loudly... and my 3 pound "chorkie" barking at the heat vent which she feels the need to do, I think she does it when shes chilly in hopes the heat kicks on, she makes me laugh

I think they do a pretty good job too.Actually of the three(Stones,Dylan,Hendrix),I like the Stones
best,they just have a smooth flow and it sounds soothing.
