A winter 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
--- Instrumental ---
I have my books and my poetry To protect me, I'm shielded in my armour 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...
