I Am a Rock — текст песни (Hollies)

(simon / garfunkel)

A winters 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



Dont talk of love

Well, Ive heard the word before

Its sleeping in my memory

Dont 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

Its laughter and its 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
