I Am A Rock - Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics

Repertoire

I Am A Rock

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
