เพลง I Am a Rock (Live at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL - November 1969)

A winter`s 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,

Well, I`ve heard the word 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.
