C
A winter's day
      F               C
 In a deep and dark December;
Dm G7  F C
I  am alone,
Dm             Em     Dm               Em
Gazing from my window to the streets below
     Dm             F                G
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
       C
I am a rock,
        G  C
I am an is-land.
           C
I've built walls,
  F                 C
A fortress deep and mighty,
     Dm   G7  F     C
That none may penetrate.
  Dm              Em          Dm                Em
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
     Dm                F           G
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
       C
I am a rock,
        G  C
I am an is-land.
              C
Don't talk of love,
     F                 C
I've heard the words before;
     Dm  G7         F    C
It's sleeping in my memory.
      Dm                Em         Dm                 Em
And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
     Dm            F                G
If I never loved I never would have cried.
       C
I am a rock,
        G  C
I am an is-land.
          C
I have my books
       F            C
And my poetry to protect me;
     Dm   G7        F   C
I am shielded in my armor,
Dm           Em    Dm             Em
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
  Dm               F              G
I touch no one and no one touches me.
       C
I am a rock,
        G  C
I am an is-land.
      Dm   Em       C
And a rock feels no pain;
       Dm     G     C
And an island never cries.
