In an old apartment waiting for the walls to move   Praying that someone, hoping that no one intrudes   Living like an actor, feeling like a poet bruised   But no man is an island      Lay down your robe, leper or rogue   Keep yourself open here   Don't let the cold close to your soul   Lonely tonight      Passing like a shadow, never letting anyone see   And maybe I'm biased but I don't think   You know the first thing about me   But no man is an island      Lay down your robe, leper or rogue   Keep yourself open here   Don't let the cold close to your soul   No one is free, come light      And heavier stones think to themselves   That they're alone here   But everyone grieves and everyone feels   Lonely tonight      Don't tell me you know   When I know you don't   Don't tell me you know   When you know you don't      Lay down your robe, leper or rogue   Keep yourself open here   Don't let the cold close to your soul   No one is free, come light      And heavier stones think to themselves   That they're alone here   But everyone grieves and everyone feels   Lonely tonight      But no man is an island
