Sounds Of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to (1)________ with you again
Because a vision (2)____________ creeping
Left its seeds (3)__________ I was sleeping
And the (4)____________ that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In (5)________________ (6)____________ I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the (7)________ and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the (8)__________ of a neon light
That split the night
And (9)______________ the (10)__________ of silence
And in the (11)__________ (12)__________ I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People (13)______________ without speaking
People hearing (14)______________ listening
People writing (15)__________ that voices 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 words that I (16)__________ (17)__________ you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed In the wells of silence
And the (18)____________ (19)__________ and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign (20)______________ out its warning
In the (21)__________ that it was forming
And the sign said: "The (22)__________ of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And (23)__________________ in the sounds of silence."
