A winter's day	C
In a deep and dark December	F C
I am alone	C
Gazing from my window	Dm Em
To the streets below	Dm Em
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow	Dm F G

I am a rock	C
I am an island	G C Am

I've built walls	C
A fortress deep and mighty	F C
That none may penetrate	Dm G F C
I have no need for friendship	Dm Em
Friendship causes pain	Dm Em
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.	Dm F G

I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I'd never loved,
I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no-one and no-one touches me

I am a rock
I am an island
And the rock feels no pain	Dm G C
And an island never cries	Dm G C
