[00:00.00]I Am a Rock (Alternate Version) - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)
[00:07.97]A winter's day
[00:09.22]
[00:12.91]In a deep and dark December;
[00:16.45]
[00:21.01]I am alone
[00:24.25]
[00:25.64]Gazing from my window to the streets below
[00:29.18]
[00:29.69]On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
[00:32.75]
[00:33.31]I am a rock
[00:34.62]
[00:35.37]I am an island
[00:38.92]
[00:44.79]I've built walls
[00:46.03]
[00:49.59]A fortress deep and mighty
[00:52.53]
[00:55.78]That none may prate
[00:59.32]
[01:00.57]I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
[01:04.82]It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
[01:07.75]
[01:08.31]I am a rock
[01:09.49]
[01:10.18]I am an island
[01:14.43]
[01:18.86]Don't talk of love
[01:19.85]
[01:22.47]But I've heard the words before;
[01:25.92]
[01:28.65]It's sleeping in my memory
[01:32.41]
[01:33.39]I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
[01:37.01]
[01:37.64]If I never loved I never would have cried
[01:40.38]
[01:41.07]I am a rock
[01:43.08]I am an island
[01:47.01]
[01:51.30]I have my books
[01:52.75]
[01:55.24]And my poetry to protect me;
[01:58.55]
[02:01.41]I am shielded in my armor
[02:04.79]
[02:06.59]Hiding in my room safe within my womb
[02:10.33]I touch no one and no one touches me
[02:13.78]I am a rock
[02:15.09]
[02:15.77]I am an island
[02:19.38]
[02:24.26]And a rock feels no pain;
[02:26.43]
[02:27.38]And an island never cries
