I Am A Rock
The Hollies

(P. Simon - A. Garfunkel)

from the album Beat Group (US) or Would You Believe (UK), May 1966

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 mighty,
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 

chorus x 2
