Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've (1)________ to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision (2)________ was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In (3)________________ dreams I (4)____________ alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were 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, (5)__________ more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I (6)__________ reach you."
But my words, like (7)____________ raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people (8)__________ and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words (9)________ 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."
