The Sounds of Silence
By: Simon & Garfunkle

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...

You shall not chase my gloom away!
There's such a charm in melancholy.

I'm so upset. What's happening to me?
Sis took me out to eat today. She said,
"Is something wrong? You just don't seem yourself."
I told her off--I don't know WHY!--and fled.

A lady of a certain age whose life you think you really know
she lives her life with secrets and some of these appear below

On the surface she is brusque and rather bumptious, never smiles
but deep...

One mystic blue night in June
I will steal the silvery full moon,
break it into sharp-edged shards,
and sow them in the backyard 
in the shadow of dark clouds at noon.

The dark devils will enter with lust

Hello Darkness My Old Enemy 
 Take some time to collect your thoughts inside
 The playing field is rough yet we have nothing to hide
 Shallow promises made in the dark have come to light

Hello Darkness, my old friend
My arms out stretched
I'm here again
Inside my dream I walked alone
Inside the night I roamed.
Reaching out to all who hear
Reaching out through silent tears
But no one hears and no one came

Hello, Darkness, My Ole' Friend,
I've come to talk with you, again
My loneliness comes to set in
Why am I sitting here, chatting with sin?

What the hell did I do, to earn such my life,

Hello darkness, my old friend
Just when my heart is on the mend
I realize I’ve built walls
And no one listens to my calls

NOTHING NEW

This is nothing new,
Simon says;
“hello darkness my ole friend”,
She is never our friend,
We treat her as a stranger,
Every time,

Covering the other in Shadow,
time suffers,

Hello darkness my old friend
Nice to meet you once again
I didn’t mean you any harm
Why the cause for this alarm


Darkness led me to a place
 I couldn’t even see her face
It was cold and empty...

I walked into you with wide-open eyes,
Your softly creeping gloom invaded my dreams,
Lingering and hastening the oblivion;
Hello, Darkness.

Doubts and confusion paved my way
Leaving room only for shadowed rain.
Unexpectedly, a gleam of light shattered my illusion
And...

Hello Darkness, how did you shroud my love,
And desires once ablaze, now silent as a dove.
In this world of echoes, a symphony of hush,
A realm of whispers, where emotions blush.

In this abyss, where shadows intertwine,

"Turning circles around your heart"~
Dance off-feet and head pulled by tides,
Far still my rippling face's sight—
And overwhelming motions spread

I yearn to crash on your bosom—
"Turning circles around your heart"~
So each time close is the time...

Hello sunshine.
Can you feel me?
I am warm like the rays of the summer's sun.
I am here to brighten your day.
Can you feel my strength?
Hello clouds
Can you understand me?
I am as grey as the concrete..
I am...

Well "Hello darkness, my old friend,"

Time for the sea and sky to blend.

Daytime work will come to an end,

And now homeward bound I will wend.



At night with tired workers, I blend.

Well "Hello darkness, my old...

Hello darkness
Bring me into your light
Where I feel safe
And I feel al right
In behind the shadows
I'll let you see my soul
I'll no longer hide
I'll tell you everything you want to know

Naked in front of you
Blanketed...

“Hello darkness, my old friend”
Your song fills my head again

I can’t escape Paul Simon
Words lift me like a sermon

I travel with him to Graceland
Years are “slip-sliding away”

Years pass, he says we’re crazy
Wasted youth; I was...
