For all you Hermits and wanna be Hermits, a song for you.

I am a Rock - Simon and Garfunkel

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

I like my own company but I wouldn’t call myself a hermit.
(Or I wouldn’t post on here)

Paul has written some fantastic songs,hasn’t he?

“Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”
Could have been written for some of the threads here :grinning:

Simon & Garfunkel or Paul Simon on his own … they did some fantastic songs.
Mrs Robinson from the Graduate is one of my faves.
