HOLLIES - I Am a Rock lyrics

rate me

(simon / garfunkel)

A winter's day in a deep and dark december

I am alone

Gazing from my window to the street below

On a freshly fallensilent shroud of snow

I am a rock I am an island

Don't talk of love

WellI've heard the word before

It's sleeping in my memory

Don't disturb the slumber

Of feelings that have died

If I never lovedI never would have cried

Chorus

I build walls

A fortress deep and might

That none may penetrate

I have no need of friendship

Friendship causes pain

It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

Chorus

I have my books

And my poetry to protect me

I am shielded in my armor

Hiding in my roomsafe within my womb

I touch no one and no one touches me

Chorus

And a rock feels no pain

And an island never cries
