The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk (1)________ you again
Because a (2)____________ softly creeping
Left its seeds (3)__________ I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (4)__________ of silence

In restless dreams I (5)____________ alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the (6)________ of a street lamp
I turned my (7)____________ to the (8)________ and damp
When my (9)________ were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked (10)__________ I saw
Ten (11)________________ people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing (12)______________ listening
People writing songs that voices (13)__________ share...
And no one dare
Disturb the (14)__________ of silence.

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a (15)____________ grows.
Hear my (16)__________ that I (17)__________ teach you,
Take my arms that I (18)__________ (19)__________ you.
But my words (20)________ silent (21)__________________ fell,
And (22)____________ in the (23)__________ of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the (24)__________ that it was forming.
And the signs said: The words of the prophets
Are (25)______________ on the (26)____________ walls
And (27)________________ halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
