Intro
Verse
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.
Chorus
I am a rock, I am an i___sland.
Verse
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.
[Repeat Chorus]
Verse
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.
[Repeat Chorus]
Verse
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.
[Repeat Chorus]
Outro
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.
