I Am Rock lyrics

A winter's day In a deep and dark December I am alone And gazing through my window To the streets below On freshly fallen silence shroud of snow I am a rock I am an island I built walls A fortress deep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need for friendship Friendship causes pain It's laughter and it's love that I disdain I am a rock I am an island Don't talk of love I heard the word before It's seeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber Of feelings that'll died If I never love and I never wanna cry I am a rock I am an island I have my books And my poetry to protect me I'm shielded in my honor 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
