I Am A Rock

(simon / garfunkel)

A winter's day in a deep and dark december

I am alone

Gazing from my window to the street below

On a freshly fallen , silent shroud of snow



I am a rock i am an island



Don't talk of love

Well, i've heard the word before

It's sleeping in my memory

Don't disturb the slumber

Of feelings that have died

If i never loved, i never would have cried



Chorus



I build walls

A fortress deep and might

That none may penetrate

I have no need of friendship

Friendship causes pain

It's laughter and it's loving i disdain



Chorus



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



Chorus



And a rock feels no pain

And an island never cries
