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 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 loving I disdain I am a rock, I am an island I am a rock, I am an island ♪ Don't talk of love
But I've heard this 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 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 I am a rock, I am an island ♪ I am a rock, I am an island I am a rock, I am an island ♪ And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries
