Kina Grannis - Sounds of Silence 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 Turned my collar to the cold and damned When my eyes were stabbed By the flash of a neon light Split the night And touched the sound of silence Fools said I 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 Within the sound of silence
