Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to (1)________ with you again
Because a (2)____________ softly creeping
Left its (3)__________ while I was sleeping
And the vision (4)________ was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (5)__________ of silence
In (6)________________ dreams I (7)____________ alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the (8)________ of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And (9)______________ the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten (10)________________ people, (11)__________ more
People (12)______________ (13)______________ speaking
People hearing (14)______________ listening
People writing songs that (15)____________ never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my (16)__________ that I (17)__________ (18)__________ you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words, (19)________ silent raindrops fell,
And echoed In the (20)__________ of silence
And the people (21)__________ and prayed
To the neon god (22)________ made
And the (23)________ flashed out its warning
In the (24)__________ that it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the (25)____________ walls
And (26)________________ halls,
And (27)__________________ in the sounds of silence."
