Lyric I Am A Rock

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

I am a rock
I am an island

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

I am a rock
I am an island

Don t talk of love
Well 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

I am a rock
I am an island

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

I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
