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 (2)__________ while I was sleeping
And the vision that was (3)______________ in my brain
Still remains
Within the (4)__________ of silence
In (5)________________ dreams I walked alone
Narrow (6)______________ of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I (7)____________ my collar to the (8)________ and damp
When my (9)________ were (10)______________ by the (11)__________ of a neon light
That (12)__________ the night
And (13)______________ the (14)__________ of silence
And in the (15)__________ (16)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing (17)______________ listening
People (18)______________ songs that voices (19)__________ share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a (20)____________ grows."
"Hear my words that I (21)__________ teach you,
Take my arms (22)________ I might reach you."
But my words, (23)________ silent raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the (24)________ god (25)________ made
And the sign (26)______________ 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 (27)____________ of silence."
