The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk (1)________ you again
Because a (2)____________ softly creeping
Left its (3)__________ while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In (4)________________ dreams I (5)____________ alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the (6)________ of a (7)____________ lamp
I (8)____________ my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And (9)______________ the sound of silence

And in the (10)__________ (11)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People (12)______________ without speaking
People hearing (13)______________ listening
People writing songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a (14)____________ grows.
Hear my (15)__________ that I might (16)__________ you,
Take my (17)________ that I (18)__________ (19)__________ you.
But my (20)__________ (21)________ silent (22)__________________ fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the (23)________ god they made.
And the (24)________ flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the (25)__________ of silence.
