 D#
A winterʼs day
      G#               D#
In a deep and dark December;
 Fm A#  G# D#
I  am alone,
 Fm             A#      Fm                A#
Gazing from my window to the streets below
      Fm             G#                A#
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

        D#
I am a rock,
         A#  D#
I am an is-land.
            D#
Iʼve built walls,
   G#                 D#
A fortress deep and mighty,
      Fm   A#   G#   D#
That none may penetrate.
   Fm              A#           Fm                A#
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
       Fm               G#           A#
Itʼs laughter and itʼs loving I disdain.
        D#
I am a rock,
         A#  D#
I am an is-land.
               D#
Donʼt talk of love,
      G#                 D#
Iʼve heard the words before;
      Fm   A#         G#   D#
Itʼs sleeping in my memory.
       Fm                A#          Fm                 A#
And I wonʼt disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
      Fm            G#                A#
If I never loved I never would have cried.
        D#
I am a rock,
         A#  D#
I am an is-land.
           D#
I have my BOOKS
        G#            D#
And my poetry to protect me;
      Fm   A#         G#   D#
I am shielded in my armor,
 Fm           A#     Fm             A#
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
   Fm               G#              A#
I touch no one and no ONE TOUCHES me.
        D#
I am a rock,
         A#  D#
I am an is-land.
       G#     Gm      D#
And a rock  feels no pain;
        G#      Gm   D#
And an island never cries.
