I Am A Rock Tab

by Simon And Garfunkel


Verse1:  
                                 
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


Chourus:
                   
I am a rock I am an island


Verse2:
                                                             
Ive built walls a fortress deep and mighty that none may penetrate

                                       
I have no need of friendship friendship causes pain

                              
Its laughter and its loving I disdain

(Chourus)

Verse3:
                                                            
Dont talk of love Ive heard the word before Its sleeping in my memory

                                         
I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died

                                   
if I never loved I never would have cried

(Chourus)

Verse4:
                                                            
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

(Chourus)

last verse:
                
And a rock feels no pain

                 
and an island never cries
