A winter's d ay in a d eep and dark Dec ember
I am a lo___ _____ ne
Gazing from my window to the streets b elow
On a f reshly fallen s ilent shroud of s now
I am a ro ck, I am an i slan d.
I've built wa lls, a f ortress deep and m ighty
That n o____ ne may p enet rate
I have no need of f riendship, f riendship causes p ain
It's l aughter and l oving I disd ain
I am a r ock, I am an i slan d
Don't talk of l ove, but I've hea rd the word bef ore
It's s leepi ng in my me mory
I w on't disturb the s lumber of the f eelings that have d ied
If I never loved I n ever would have c ried
I am a ro ck, I am an i slan d
I have my b ooks and my p oetry to prot ect me
I am sh ielde d in my ar _mor
Hiding in my r oom, s afe within my wo mb
I t ouch no one and n o one touches me
I am a r ock, I am an i slan d
And a rock fe els no p ain, and an island n ever cr ies
