City Island

Drowning in a crowd
Drowning in the sound
An island from within
Silence flooding in

I am silent
I am still
I am silent
Island within

Silent as a shrine
Whirling mists of time
Silent as the snow
Falling snow on snow

I am silent
I am still
I am silent
Island within

Ticker-tape parade
Citied held at bay
Echoes of the show
Fade in afterglow
