Simon & Garfunkel - I AM A ROCK

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,
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

Uma música para quando nos apetece estar sós...para quando queremos meter o "do not disturb" para o mundo....somos uma ilha? claro que não, mas por momentos podemos sempre ser...temos os nossos livros e a nossa poesia para nos proteger...escondidos na segurança do quarto.....Greta Garbo dizia "quero que me deixem só"...por vezes só assim conseguimos pensar e compreender o que está mal, e partir para uma nova montanha.
