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 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.
