A winter's day in [F] a deep and dark [C] December
[Dm] [Gm] I am [C] alone
[Dm] Gazing from my window to the [Em] streets below On [Dm] a freshly fallen silent [G] shroud of snow
[C] I have a rock [G] [C]
[Am]
[C] of blue walls [F] A bit more dristy [C] and naive
That
[Dm] [G] none may [C]
penetrate I [Dm] have no need of friendship
Friendship [Em] causes pain It's [F] laughter and it's loving [G] I disdain
I have
[F] [G] [C]
[Am]
no need of friendship Don't [C] talk of love
Well [F] I've heard the [C] word before It's
[Dm] [G] sleeping in my [C] memory
I [Dm] won't disturb the slumber Of feelings [Em] that have died
If I [F] never loved I never [G] would have cried [D]
[F] [G] [C]
[Am]
And [F] my poetry [C] to protect me
I'm
[Dm] [Gm] shielded in my [C]
armor [Dm] Hiding in my room, safe within [Em] my womb
I touch [F] no one and no one [G] touches me [C]
[F] [G] [C]
[Dm] And a rock [C] feels no pain
And an [G] island never [C] cries
[Dm] [Gm] I am [C] alone
[Dm] Gazing from my window to the [Em] streets below On [Dm] a freshly fallen silent [G] shroud of snow
[C] I have a rock [G] [C]
[Am]
[C] of blue walls [F] A bit more dristy [C] and naive
That
[Dm] [G] none may [C]
penetrate I [Dm] have no need of friendship
Friendship [Em] causes pain It's [F] laughter and it's loving [G] I disdain
I have
[F] [G] [C]
[Am]

Well [F] I've heard the [C] word before It's
