The Hollies - I Am A Rock Lyrics

Lyrics I Am A Rock - The Hollies



(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
Chorus x 2
