Lyrics

[00:08.43] A winter's day In a deep and dark December
[00:20.46] I am alone
[00:24.98] Gazing from my window
[00:27.01] To the streets below
[00:28.81] On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
[00:32.45] I am a rock
[00:34.22] I am an island
[00:37.97] I've built walls
[00:49.93] A fortress deep and mighty
[00:56.24] That none may penetrate
[01:01.41] I have no need of friendship
[01:04.16] Friendship causes pain
[01:05.79] It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
[01:07.97] I am a rock
[01:11.33] I am an island
[01:13.64]
[01:22.52] Don't talk of love
[01:26.40] Well I've heard the word before
[01:33.40] It's sleeping in my memory
[01:38.51] I won't disturb the slumber
[01:41.19] Of feelings that have died
[01:43.01] If I never loved I never would have cried
[01:46.52] I am a rock
[01:48.51] I am an island
[01:52.01] I have my books
[02:03.55] And my poetry to protect me
[02:10.05] I am shielded in my armor
[02:16.21] Hiding in my room
[02:17.91] Safe within my womb
[02:19.97] I touch no one and no one touches me
[02:23.74] I am a rock
[02:25.36] I am an island
[02:32.55] And a rock feels no pain
[02:36.11] And an island never cries
[02:38.57]
