I Am a Rock

Simon & Garfunkel

   I am alone gazzing from my window
   to the streets below
   on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
R: I am a rock I am an island.

2. I've built walls a fortress deep and mighty
   that's none may penetrate I have no need of friendship,
   friendship causes pain
   it's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
R:

3. Don't talk of love but I've heard the word 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.
R:

4. I have my books and my poetry to protect me
   I am shielded in my armour hidding in my room
   safe within my womb
   I touch no one and no one touches me.
R: + and a rock feels no pain
     and an island never cries ...
