PAUL SIMON lyrics : "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 well I've heard the words before


It's sleeping in my memory


And 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 can feel no pain

And an island never cries
