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