Sounds of Simon and Garfunkel
Lyrics
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping- Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain - Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone - Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath 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, maybe 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 its warning - In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls - And whispered in the sounds of silence
Slow down, you move too fast. - You got to make the morning last.-Just
kicking down the cobble stones. - Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
Bah dah bah, dah dah dah dah feelin groovy
Hello lamppost, - What cha knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,- Feelin' groovy.
Bah dah bah, dah dah dah dah feelin groovy
Got no deeds to do, - No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all it's petals on me.
Life, I love you, - All is groovy.
Bah….
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will lay me down
When you're down and out - When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard - I will comfort you
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around –
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl - Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine - Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will ease your mind
