| [00:21.650] |
A winter's day |
| [00:25.850] |
In a deep and dark December; |
| [00:31.940] |
I am alone, |
| [00:39.430] |
Gazing from my window to the streets below |
| [00:45.190] |
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. |
| [00:48.730] |
I am a rock, |
| [00:52.600] |
I am an island. |
| [01:09.870] |
I've built walls, |
| [01:15.350] |
A fortress deep and mighty, |
| [01:22.230] |
That none may penetrate. |
| [01:29.850] |
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. |
| [01:32.570] |
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain. |
| [01:39.260] |
I am a rock, |
| [01:42.770] |
I am an island. |
| [02:09.240] |
Don't talk of love, |
| [02:14.580] |
But I've heard the words before; |
| [02:23.610] |
It's sleeping in my memory. |
| [02:31.220] |
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. |
| [02:36.270] |
If I never loved I never would have cried. |
| [02:40.970] |
I am a rock, |
| [02:43.180] |
I am an island. |
| [03:10.150] |
I have my books |
| [03:15.200] |
And my poetry to protect me; |
| [03:23.250] |
I am shielded in my armor, |
| [03:31.450] |
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. |
| [03:36.180] |
I touch no one and no one touches me. |
| [03:40.860] |
I am a rock, |
| [03:42.910] |
I am an island. |
| [03:55.220] |
And a rock feels no pain; |
| [03:58.770] |
And an island never cries. |
