  1. 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 deared

    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 signs said, the words of the prophets

    Are written on the subway walls

    And tenement halls.

    And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

  2. Like a Rolling Stone

    Bob Dylan

     

    Once upon a time you dressed so fine

    You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?

    People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"

    You thought they were all kiddin' you

    You used to laugh about

    Everybody that was hangin' out

    Now you don't talk so loud

    Now you don't seem so proud

    About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

     

    How does it feel

    How does it feel

    To be without a home

    Like a complete unknown

    Like a rolling stone?

     

    You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely

    But you know you only used to get juiced in it

    And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street

    And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it

    You said you'd never compromise

    With the mystery tramp, but now you realize

    He's not selling any alibis

    As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

    And ask him do you want to make a deal?

     

    How does it feel

    How does it feel

    To be on your own

    With no direction home

    Like a complete unknown

    Like a rolling stone?

     

    You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns

    When they all come down and did tricks for you

    You never understood that it ain't no good

    You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

    You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat

    Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

    Ain't it hard when you discover that

    He really wasn't where it's at

    After he took from you everything he could steal.

     

    How does it feel

    How does it feel

    To be on your own

    With no direction home

    Like a complete unknown

    Like a rolling stone?

     

    Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

    They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made

    Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things

    But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe

    You used to be so amused

    At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

    Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse

    When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose

    You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

     

    How does it feel

    How does it feel

    To be on your own

    With no direction home

    Like a complete unknown

    Like a rolling stone?
