C                       F              C
A winter's day    In a deep and dark December
Dm   G7   F   C
I am alone-
Dm7             Em7   Dm7              Em7
Gazing from my window to the streets below
      Dm             F                 G
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
F       C     F        G   C   Am
I am a rock,  I am an island.
C                     F                 C
I've built walls, A fortress deep and mighty
Dm7   G7       F    C
That none may penetrate
Dm7                 Em7
I have no need of friendship
Dm7                Em7
Friendship causes pain
      Dm            F           G
It's laughter and loving I disdain
F       C     F        G   C   Am
I am a rock,  I am an island.
C                            F                 C
Don't talk of love but I've heard the word before
Dm7   G7             F   C
It's sleeping in my memory
Dm7                   Em7
I won't disturb the slumber
         Dm7                Em7
Of the feelings that have died
      Dm            F                G
If I never loved I never would have cried
F       C     F        G  C   Am
I am a rock,  I am an island.
C                       F             C
I have my books and my poetry to protect me
Dm7   G7             F   C
I am shielded in my armor
Dm7           Em    Dm7           Em7
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
    Dm              F              G
I touch no one and no one touches me.
F       C     F       G   C
I am a rock, I am an island
      Dm7   G        C            Dm7    G     C
And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.
