Leonard Cohen - Sound of Silence (tribute to Paul Simon)

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again
PAUL SIMON WRITING THE SOUND OF SILENCE WEDNESDAY MORNING, 3.00 AM, 1964
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.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, 3.00 AM, 1964
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.
PAUL SIMON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, 3.00 AM, 1964
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 whisperd in the sounds of silence.
PAUL SIMON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, 3.00 AM, 1964
