I Am a Rock

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'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 words before It's sleeping in my memory And 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
