爛電影裡的好歌 The Sound Of Silence









Original singer : Simon & Garfunkel



Hello, darkness my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left it's seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains within the sound of silence



In restless dream

I walked alone the narrow street of cobble stone

Beneath the halo 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 touched the sound of silence



And in the naked light

I saw ten thousand people may be more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dare disturb the sound of silence



 Fools said I you do not know

 Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach 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 people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out it's warning

In the words that it was forming, and the signs said

The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls

And whispered in the sound of silence
