I Am a Rock

歌詞

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 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 word before It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber Of feelings that have died If I'd 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'm 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...
