[00:04.61]I  am  a  rock--Red  House  Painters （originally  by  Simon  and  Garfunkel）
[00:19.78]A  winter's  day
[00:25.02]In  a  deep  and  dark  December;
[00:29.92]I  am  alone,
[00:36.45]Gazing  from  my  window  to  the  streets  below
[00:52.32]On  a  freshly  fallen  silent  shroud  of  snow.
[01:00.38]I  am  a  rock,
[01:03.00]I  am  an  island.
[01:10.80]I  am  a  rock,
[01:13.47]I  am  an  island.
[01:24.74]I've  built  walls,
[01:29.50]A  fortress  deep  and  mighty,
[01:38.95]That  none  may  penetrate.
[01:45.83]I  have  no  need  of  friendship;friendship  causes  pain.
[01:50.88]It's  laughter  and  it's  loving  I  disdain.
[01:54.74]I  am  a  rock,
[01:57.31]I  am  an  island.
[02:04.93]I  am  a  rock,
[02:07.68]I  am  an  island.
[02:23.87]Don't  talk  of  love,
[02:28.87]But  I've  heard  the  words  before;
[02:37.88]It's  sleeping  in  my  memory.
[02:44.96]I  won't  disturb  the  slumber  of  feelings  that  have  died.
[02:49.87]If  I  never  loved  I  never  would  have  cried.
[02:53.94]I  am  a  rock,
[02:56.53]I  am  an  island.
[03:04.25]I  am  a  rock,
[03:06.94]I  am  an  island.
[03:18.34]I  have  my  books
[03:23.03]And  my  poetry  to  protect  me;
[03:32.06]I  am  shielded  in  my  armor,
[03:39.44]Hiding  in  my  room,safe  within  my  womb.
[03:43.93]I  touch  no  one  and  no  one  touches  me.
[03:48.03]I  am  a  rock,
[03:50.81]I  am  an  island.
[03:58.51]I  am  a  rock,
[04:01.02]I  am  an  island.
[04:11.64]I  am  a  rock,
[04:13.89]I  am  an  island.
[04:21.75]I  am  a  rock,
[04:24.05]I  am  an  island.
[04:44.11]And  a  rock  feels  no  pain;
[04:51.56]And  an  island  never  cries.
[04:59.22]And  a  rock  feels  no  pain;
[05:06.72]And  an  island  never  cries.
[05:14.80]And  a  rock  feels  no  pain;
[05:22.44]And  an  island  never  cries.
