I Am A Rock Lyrics - Hollies

(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
