Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to (1)________ (2)________ you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its (3)__________ while I was sleeping
And the (4)____________ (5)________ was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (6)__________ of silence
In (7)________________ dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the (8)________ and damp
When my eyes were (9)______________ by the (10)__________ of a neon light
That split the night
And (11)______________ the (12)__________ of silence
And in the naked (13)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, (14)__________ more
People talking without speaking
People hearing (15)______________ listening
People (16)______________ songs that voices 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 that I might (18)__________ you,
Take my (19)________ that I might reach you."
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the (20)____________ bowed and prayed
To the neon god (21)________ made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the (22)________ said: "The (23)__________ of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And (24)________________ halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
