C5
A winter's day
F5 C5
In a deep and dark December;
D5 G5 C5
I am alone,
D5 E5 D5 E5
Gazing from my window to the streets below
D5 F5 G5
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
C5
I am a rock,
G5 C5
I am an is-land.
C5
I've built walls,
F5 C5
A fortress deep and mighty,
D5 G5 C5
That none may penetrate.
D5 E5 D5 E5
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
D5 F5 G5
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
C5
I am a rock,
G5 C5
I am an is-land.
C5
Don't talk of love,
F5 C5
I've heard the words before;
D5 G5 C5
It's sleeping in my memory.
D5 E5 D5 E5
And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
D5 F5 G5
If I never loved I never would have cried.
C5
I am a rock,
G5 C5
I am an is-land.
C5
I have my books
F5 C5
And my poetry to protect me;
D5 G5 C5
I am shielded in my armor,
D5 E5 D5 E5
Hiding in my room , safe within my womb.
D5 F5 G5
I touch no one and no one touches me.
C5
I am a rock,
G5 C5
I am an is-land.
D5 E5 C5
And a rock feels no pain;
D5 E5 C5
And an island never cries.
