I Am a Rock
Simon & Garfunkel
A winter's day in a deep and dark December I am alo________ne 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 no____ne may penetrate I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain It's laughter and loving I disdain I am a rock, I am an island 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 the 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 ar_mor 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
