Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've (1)________ to (2)________ with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision (3)________ was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the (4)__________ of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow (5)______________ of cobblestone
'Neath the (6)________ of a (7)____________ lamp
I turned my (8)____________ to the cold and damp
When my (9)________ were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the (10)__________ of silence
And in the (11)__________ light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People (12)______________ songs (13)________ voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the (14)__________ of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence (15)________ a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words, like silent (16)__________________ fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people (17)__________ and prayed
To the (18)________ god they made
And the (19)________ (20)______________ out its warning
In the (21)__________ that it was forming
And the sign (22)__________ "The (23)__________ of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
