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

Chourus:

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

(Chourus)

Verse3

 Dont talk of love Ive heard the word before Its sleeping in my memory

 I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died

 if I never loved I never would have cried

(Chourus)

Verse4

 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

(Chourus)

last verse:

 And a rock feels no pain

 and an island never cries
