A winter's day



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,
Well, I've heard the word 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.



Well then......lemme re-vamp that one real quick!

OOOOOOOoooooooooohhhhhhh......the weather outside is frightful
But the fire's so delightful
And since we've no place to go

LET it snow, let it snow, let it SNOW!!!!!!

Paul Simon doesn't really need revamping, although I like the other song too.

Wow... I started singing Paul Simon as soon as I saw that title.

What a sad sourpuss I can be at times.
