| 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.
