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.
This is the sound.

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.
This is the sound of silence.
This is the sound.

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 dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
I've got the sound.
I've got the sound.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know...
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.



Who's that I see ridin'in these woods?
Hey, it's Little Red Riding Hood.  
Little Red Riding Hood, you are sure looking good baby
You're everything a big bad wolf could want. 
Is nothing else I want more than you
Little Red Riding Hood 
You sure are looking good. 
Awoooooooo! 

Take me to grandma's house
show me what a good girl wants
Little Red Riding Hood 
is sure like a piece of grandma's pies

It's a beautiful night tonight
Awoooooooo!
I'm in love with life!
