《The Folks》歌词

[00:02:25] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:02:25] I’ve come to talk with you again

[00:02:25] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:02:25] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:02:25] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:02:25] Still remains

[00:02:25] Within the sound of silence

[00:02:25] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:02:25] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:02:25] ‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp

[00:02:25] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:02:25] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[00:02:25] That split the night

[00:02:25] And touched the sound of silence

[00:02:25] And in the naked light I saw

[00:02:25] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[00:02:25] People talking without speaking

[00:02:25] People hearing without listening

[00:02:25] People writing songs that voices never share

[00:02:25] No one dare

[00:02:25] Disturb the sound of silence

[00:02:25] “Fools” said I, “You do not know

[00:02:25] Silence like a cancer grow

[00:02:25] Hear my words that I might teach you

[00:02:25] Take my arms that I might reach you”

[00:02:25] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[00:02:25] And echoed in the wells of silence

[00:02:25] And the people bowed and prayed

[00:02:25] To the neon god they made

[00:02:25] And the sign flashed out its warning

[00:02:25] In the words that it was forming

[00:02:25] And the sign said “The words of the prophets

[00:02:25] Are written on subway walls

[00:02:25] And tenement halls

[00:02:25] And whispered in the sounds of silence”---
