0:07A winter's day
0:11In a deep and dark December;
0:19I am alone
0:24Gazing from my window to the streets below
0:28On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
0:31I am a rock
0:34I am an island
0:44I've built walls
0:49A fortress deep and mighty
0:55That none may penetrate
1:00I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
1:05It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
1:08I am a rock
1:10I am an island
1:21Don't talk of love
1:25But I've heard the words before;
1:32It's sleeping in my memory
1:37I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
1:41If I never loved I never would have cried
1:45I am a rock
1:47I am an island
1:58I have my books
2:02And my poetry to protect me;
2:09I am shielded in my armor
2:15Hiding in my room safe within my womb
2:18I touch no one and no one touches me
2:22I am a rock
2:24I am an island
2:31And a rock feels no pain;
2:34And an island never cries
A winter's day In a deep and dark December; I am alone Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow I am a rock I am an island I've built walls A fortress deep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain It's laughter and it's loving I disdain I am a rock I am an island Don't talk of love But I've heard the words before; It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died If I never loved I never would have cried I am a rock I am an island I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me I am a rock I am an island And a rock feels no pain; And an island never cries
