Lyrics:

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 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 loving I disdain
I am a rock, I am an island
I am a rock, I am an island

Don't talk of love
But I've heard this word before

It's sleeping in my memory

I won't disturb the slumber of the feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock, I am an island
I am a rock, I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me

I am 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
I am a rock, I am an island

I am a rock, I am an island
I am a rock, I am an island

And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries
And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries
And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries
