I Am A Rock Lyrics

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 mity

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



Don't
talk of love

but I've heard the 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 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



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