Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to (1)________ with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds (2)__________ I was sleeping
And the (3)____________ (4)________ was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a (5)____________ lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That (6)__________ the night
And (7)______________ the sound of silence
And in the (8)__________ (9)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking (10)______________ speaking
People (11)______________ without listening
People writing songs that (12)____________ (13)__________ share
And no one dared
Disturb the (14)__________ of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my (15)__________ that I (16)__________ teach you,
Take my arms (17)________ I might reach you."
But my words, like silent (18)__________________ fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the (19)____________ bowed and prayed
To the neon god (20)________ made
And the (21)________ flashed out its warning
In the (22)__________ (23)________ it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And (24)__________________ in the sounds of silence."
