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

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