The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk (1)________ 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 (2)______________ of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes (3)________ 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 (4)__________ that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence (5)________ a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I (6)__________ teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my (7)__________ like silent raindrops fell,
And (8)____________ in the wells of silence.

And the people (9)__________ and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign 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 (10)________________ halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
