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