Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've (1)________ to talk (2)________ you again
Because a vision (3)____________ creeping
Left its seeds (4)__________ I was sleeping
And the (5)____________ that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (6)__________ of silence
In restless dreams I (7)____________ alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I (8)____________ my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a (9)________ light
That split the night
And touched the (10)__________ of silence
And in the naked (11)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, (12)__________ more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing (13)__________ that (14)____________ 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 (15)__________ (16)________ I (17)__________ teach you,
Take my arms (18)________ I might reach you."
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the (19)________ god (20)________ made
And the sign (21)______________ out its warning
In the words (22)________ it was forming
And the sign said: "The (23)__________ of the prophets
Are (24)______________ on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
