Verse1: A winters 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 Chourus: I am a rock I am an island Verse2: Ive built walls a fortress deep and mighty that none may penetrate I have no need of friendship friendship causes pain Its laughter and its loving I disdain (Chourus) Verse3: Dont talk of love Ive heard the word before Its sleeping in my memory I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died if I never loved I never would have cried (Chourus) Verse4: 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 (Chourus) last verse: And a rock feels no pain and an island never cries
