Karaoké I Am a Rock Simon & 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 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 words before

They're 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
