Στοίχοι: Red House Painters. 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 deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and loving I disdain

I am a rock, I am an island

Don't talk of love but I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of the 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
