Il testo della I am a rock

A winter's 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 steep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
Its laughter and its 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
