- 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.
