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 |
