I Am A Rock lyrics by Simon & Garfunkel
A winter's dayin a deep and dark December
I am alone
gazing from my window
to the streets below
on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock, I am an island
I've built walls,
a fortress deep and mighty
that none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock, I am an island
Don't talk of love
But I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
of feelings that have died
If I never loved
I never would have cried
I am a rock, I am an island
I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room,
safe within my womb
I touch no one
and no one touches me
I am a rock, I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
