Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

I turned my collar to the (4)________ and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the (5)__________ of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw

People (6)______________ (7)______________ speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs (8)________ voices never share
And no one dared

And the (9)____________ bowed and prayed
To the neon god (10)________ 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."
