年龄越来越大,我对paul的歌,歌词的审美也在变。一开始集市那是大学时代。能弹唱集市,几乎是民谣入门的标志。之后静之声,boxer等等,也是美轮美奂的民谣经典。最终我却把paul的民谣作品之冠,送给了他另外一首. I am a ROCK. 那之后我开始听他的爵士。就跟他的民谣渐行渐远了。现在,好久不听paul了,酥酥这一贴,提醒了我那首老歌。跟大家分享一下。祝大家周末愉快。
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
Well I've heard the word 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
