Simon and Garfunkel are so good. They really really are like excellently good at lyrics. This song combines the right amount of sadness, wallow and anger that is exactly how I am feeling....
A winter's day
in a deep and dark Decemeber;
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.
