1. A winter's day in a deep and dark December
I am alone gazzing from my window
to the streets below
on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
R: I am a rock I am an island.
2. I've built walls a fortress deep and mighty
that's none may penetrate I have no need of friendship,
friendship causes pain
it's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
R:
3. Don't talk of love but I've heard the word 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.
R:
4. I have my books and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armour hidding in my room
safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me.
R: + and a rock feels no pain
and an island never cries ...
