A winter's day in [E] a deep and dark [B] December I
[C#m] [F#m] am [E] [B] alone
[C#m] Gazing from my window to the streets below [D#m] On a freshly [B] fallen silent [F#] shroud of snow
[B] I am a rock [C#] I am an [B] island
I've built walls [E] A fortress deep and [B] mighty
[C#m] That [C#] none may [B] penetrate I [C#m] have no need of [D#m] friendship
Friendship causes pain It's laughter [F#] and it's loving I disdain
[G#] I am [B] a rock [C#] I am [F#] an
[B] island
Talk of love Will [E] I have the word [B] for it?
[C#m] It's [C#] sleeping in [E] my
[B] memory And [C#m] I won't disturb [D#m] the slumber
[C#m] Of feelings [D#m] that have died [C#m] If I never [B] loved I never [F#] would have cried
[G#m] I [B] am a rock [G#m] I [F#] am an [B] island
I have my books And [E] my poetry [B] to protect me
I [C#m] am [C#] shielded in [C#m] my [B] armor Hiding in [D#m] my room
[C#m] Safe within [D#m] my womb [C#] I touch no [E] one and no one [F#] touches me
[B] I am a rock [G#] I [F#] am an [B] island
And [C#] a rock can [B] feel no pain [C#] And an island [B] never cries
[C#m] [F#m] am [E] [B] alone
[C#m] Gazing from my window to the streets below [D#m] On a freshly [B] fallen silent [F#] shroud of snow
[B] I am a rock [C#] I am an [B] island
I've built walls [E] A fortress deep and [B] mighty
