Hollies I Am A Rock Lyrics

I Am A Rock Lyrics

(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 fallen
, silent shroud of snow



I am a rock I am an island



Don't talk of love

Well, I've heard the word before

It's
sleeping in my memory

Don't disturb the slumber

Of feelings that
have died

If I never loved, I 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 room, safe within my womb

I touch no one
and no one touches me



Chorus



And a rock feels no
pain

And an island never cries
