[Paul Simon - I Am a Rock lyrics]

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, steep 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
Well, I’ve heard the word before
It’s sleeping in my memory
And 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

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 can feel no pain
And an island never cries
