I am a rock lyrics

Artist  : The hollies 
Song : 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 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 might
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
