Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to (1)________ (2)________ you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its (3)__________ while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (4)__________ of silence
In (5)________________ (6)____________ I walked alone
Narrow (7)______________ of cobblestone
'Neath the (8)________ of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the (9)________ and damp
When my (10)________ were (11)______________ by the flash of a neon light
That (12)__________ the night
And (13)______________ the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People (14)______________ without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that (15)____________ never share
And no one dared
Disturb the (16)__________ of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a (17)____________ grows."
"Hear my (18)__________ that I might teach you,
Take my (19)________ that I might reach you."
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
And (20)____________ In the wells of silence
And the (21)____________ bowed and prayed
To the (22)________ god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the (23)__________ (24)________ it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the (25)____________ walls
And tenement halls,
And whispered in the (26)____________ of silence."
