0:07A winter's day
0:11In a deep and dark
0:13December
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
0:33I 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
1:02Friendship 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
1:39Of 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
2:08I am shielded in my armor
2:14Hiding 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
