The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a (1)____________ softly creeping
Left its seeds (2)__________ I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In (3)________________ dreams I (4)____________ alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a (5)____________ lamp
I turned my (6)____________ to the (7)________ and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the (8)__________ of a neon light
That split the night
And (9)______________ the sound of silence

And in the (10)__________ light I saw
Ten (11)________________ people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People (12)______________ (13)__________ (14)________ (15)____________ never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the (16)__________ of silence.

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a (17)____________ grows.
Hear my (18)__________ that I (19)__________ teach you,
Take my arms that I might (20)__________ you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And (21)____________ in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And (22)________________ halls,
And whisper'd in the (23)__________ of silence.
