Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to (1)________ with you again
Because a vision (2)____________ creeping
Left its seeds (3)__________ I was sleeping
And the vision that was (4)______________ in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow (5)______________ of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the (6)________ and damp
When my (7)________ were (8)______________ by the (9)__________ of a (10)________ light
That split the night
And touched the (11)__________ of silence
And in the (12)__________ (13)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe 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 (14)____________ grows."
"Hear my (15)__________ that I (16)__________ teach you,
Take my arms that I (17)__________ reach you."
But my words, (18)________ (19)____________ (20)__________________ fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the (21)____________ (22)__________ and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the (23)________ (24)__________ "The words of the prophets
Are (25)______________ on the (26)____________ walls
And tenement halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
