[00:07.450] | A winter's day |
[00:11.650] | In a deep and dark December; |
[00:16.239] | I am alone, |
[00:23.130] | Gazing from my window to the streets below |
[00:28.290] | On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. |
[00:31.830] | I am a rock, |
[00:34.200] | I am an island. |
[00:45.470] | I've built walls, |
[00:47.950] | A fortress deep and mighty, |
[00:53.830] | That none may penetrate. |
[01:00.450] | I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. |
[01:05.170] | It's laughter and it's loving I disdain. |
[01:08.860] | I am a rock, |
[01:11.370] | I am an island. |
[01:21.840] | Don't talk of love, |
[01:26.180] | But I've heard the words before; |
[01:31.210] | It's sleeping in my memory. |
[01:37.820] | I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. |
[01:41.870] | If I never loved I never would have cried. |
[01:45.570] | I am a rock, |
[01:47.780] | I am an island. |
[01:58.750] | I have my books |
[02:02.800] | And my poetry to protect me; |
[02:08.850] | I am shielded in my armor, |
[02:15.500] | Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. |
[02:18.780] | I touch no one and no one touches me. |
[02:22.460] | I am a rock, |
[02:24.510] | I am an island. |
[02:31.820] | And a rock feels no pain; |
[02:35.370] | And an island never cries. |
[02:38.850] |
[00:07.450] | A winter' s day |
[00:11.650] | In a deep and dark December |
