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 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
And a rock feels no pain And an island never cries
