I Am A Rock
(专辑: The Paul Simon Songbook - 1965)
A
winters 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 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, 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.
