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