I AM A ROCK - S. and G.

I AM A ROCK Lyrics by Paul Simon, Performed by Simon and Garfunkel

A winters 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 wont 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
