Sounds 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 (2)__________ while I was sleeping
And the vision (3)________ was (4)______________ in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless (5)____________ I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the (6)__________ of a (7)________ light
That (8)__________ the night
And touched the (9)__________ of silence
And in the naked (10)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People (11)______________ (12)______________ speaking
People (13)______________ without listening
People (14)______________ (15)__________ that (16)____________ never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", (17)________ I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words (18)________ I (19)__________ (20)__________ you,
Take my arms that I (21)__________ reach you."
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
And (22)____________ In the (23)__________ of silence
And the (24)____________ bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign (25)______________ out its warning
In the (26)__________ (27)________ it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
