I Am A Rock Lyrics - Old Friends Live On Stage - Simon And Garfunkel

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, 

But I've heard the words before; 

It's sleeping in my memory. 

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. 

Photos 

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 feels no pain; 

And an island never cries.
