Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision (1)____________ creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the (2)____________ that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (3)__________ of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the (4)________ of a street lamp
I turned my (5)____________ to the cold and damp
When my (6)________ were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the (7)__________ light I saw
Ten (8)________________ people, (9)__________ more
People talking (10)______________ speaking
People hearing (11)______________ listening
People writing songs (12)________ (13)____________ never share
And no one dared
Disturb the (14)__________ of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a (15)____________ grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my (16)________ (17)________ I might reach you."
But my words, (18)________ silent raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the (19)____________ (20)__________ and prayed
To the neon god (21)________ made
And the (22)________ flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the (23)________ (24)__________ "The words of the prophets
Are written on the (25)____________ walls
And (26)________________ halls,
And (27)__________________ in the sounds of silence."
