(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
