red house painter – i am a rock lyrics
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 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.
