| [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, |
| [02:15.50] |
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] |
