I Am a Rock Lyrics


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 snowI am a rock, I am an islandI'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 loving I disdainI am a rock, I am an islandDon't talk of love but I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of the feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have criedI am a rock, I am an islandI 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 meI am a rock, I am an islandAnd a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Red House Painters was the name of an alternative rock group formed in 1989 in San Francisco by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek, who is currently active in the band Sun Kil Moon, with part of the original RHP line-up. The band is described, along with Low and American Music Club, as one of the linchpins of the slowcore movement in alternative rock. Kozelek used this group primarily as a vehicle for his very personal and emotional songs of despair, pain and suffering.
