Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've (1)________ to (2)________ with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its (3)__________ while 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 (6)____________ to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That (7)__________ the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the (8)__________ light I saw
Ten thousand people, (9)__________ more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People (10)______________ songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the (11)__________ of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a (12)____________ grows."
"Hear my words that I might (13)__________ you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words, like (14)____________ raindrops fell,
And (15)____________ In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the (16)________ god they made
And the sign (17)______________ out its warning
In the (18)__________ that it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the (19)____________ walls
And (20)________________ halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
