Lyrics:

A winter's 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

I build walls
a fortress deep and might
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
Don'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

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