I Am A Rock

[ti:I Am A Rock] [ar:Paul Simon] [al:The Paul Simon Songbook] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] I Am a Rock-Paul Simon 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 prate 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 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
