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 seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision (2)________ was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (3)__________ of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the (4)________ and damp
When my (5)________ were stabbed by the flash of a (6)________ light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked (7)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People (8)______________ without listening
People (9)______________ songs that (10)____________ (11)__________ share
And no one dared
Disturb the (12)__________ of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence (13)________ a (14)____________ grows."
"Hear my words that I might (15)__________ you,
Take my arms that I might (16)__________ you."
But my words, (17)________ (18)____________ raindrops fell,
And echoed In the (19)__________ of silence
And the people (20)__________ and prayed
To the (21)________ god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And (22)________________ halls,
And whispered in the (23)____________ of silence."
