The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've (1)________ to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds (2)__________ I was sleeping
And the vision
That was (3)______________ in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In (4)________________ dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I (5)____________ my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes (6)________ stabbed
By the flash of a (7)________ light
That (8)__________ the night
And touched the (9)__________ of silence
And in the (10)__________ light I saw
Ten (11)________________ people, (12)__________ more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that (13)____________ (14)__________ share...
And no one dare
Disturb the (15)__________ of silence.
Fools, (16)________ I, you do not know
Silence (17)________ a cancer grows.
Hear my (18)__________ (19)________ I (20)__________ (21)__________ you,
Take my arms that I (22)__________ reach you.
But my words (23)________ silent (24)__________________ fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the (25)____________ 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 tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
