Lyrics

[00:06.95] A winter's day
[00:11.15] In a deep and dark December;
[00:15.74] I am alone,
[00:22.63] Gazing from my window to the streets below
[00:27.79] On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
[00:31.33] I am a rock,
[00:33.70] I am an island.
[00:44.97] I've built walls,
[00:47.45] A fortress deep and mighty,
[00:53.33] That none may penetrate.
[00:59.95] I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
[01:04.67] It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
[01:08.36] I am a rock,
[01:10.87] I am an island.
[01:21.34] Don't talk of love,
[01:25.68] But I've heard the words before;
[01:30.71] It's sleeping in my memory.
[01:37.32] I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
[01:41.37] If I never loved I never would have cried.
[01:45.07] I am a rock,
[01:47.28] I am an island.
[01:58.25] I have my books
[02:02.30] And my poetry to protect me;
[02:08.35] I am shielded in my armor,
[02:14.55] Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
[02:18.28] I touch no one and no one touches me.
[02:21.96] I am a rock,
[02:24.01] I am an island.
[02:31.32] And a rock feels no pain;
[02:34.87] And an island never cries.
