| [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. |
