A winter 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

[ organ ]

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

[ organ ]

I have my books and my poetry to protect me I'm shielded in my armour

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
