Songtext:
I Am A Rock
Simon & Garfunkel
Music & Lyrics : Paul Simon
A winter's day
In 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 words 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 armor,
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
