A winters day in a deep and dark december
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the street below
On a freshly fallen , silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
Dont talk of love
Well, Ive heard the word before
Its sleeping in my memory
Dont disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have cried
Chorus
I build walls
A fortress deep and might
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
Its laughter and its loving I disdain
Chorus
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
Chorus
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
