I Am A Rock Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

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
