Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to (1)________ with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds (2)__________ I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I (3)____________ alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes (4)________ stabbed by the (5)__________ of a (6)________ light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the (7)__________ light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking (8)______________ speaking
People (9)______________ (10)______________ listening
People writing songs that voices (11)__________ share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", (12)________ I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my (13)__________ (14)________ I (15)__________ (16)__________ you,
Take my (17)________ that I (18)__________ reach you."
But my words, like (19)____________ raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words (20)________ it was forming
And the (21)________ said: "The (22)__________ of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
