VERSE1
A winters 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
 
VERSE2
Ive built walls a fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship Friendship causes pain
Its laughter and its loving I disdain
I Am A Rock I am an island
 
VERSE3
Dont talk of love but Ive heard the words before
Its sleep-ing in my memory
I wont 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
 
VERSE4
I have my books and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
hiding in my room save within my womb
I touched 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!
