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