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 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,
But I've Heard The Words 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.
