[C]
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 streets
[Em] below [Dm] On a freshly [F] fallen silent [G] shroud of snow
[C] I
[F] have [G] an ark, [C]
[Am]
[C] I've built walls [F] A fortress deep [C] and mighty
That
[Dm] [G] none [F] may [C]
penetrate I [Dm] have no [Em] need of friendship
[Dm] Friendship [Em] causes pain [Dm] It's laughter [F] and it's loving [G] I disdain
[C] I am 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 [Dm] I won't [Em] disturb the slumber [Dm] of feelings [Em] that
I've died [Dm] If I never [F] loved I never [G] would have cried
I [C] am a rock, [F] [G]
[C]
[Am]
I [C] have my books [F] And my poetry [C] to protect me
[Dm] I am [G] [F] shielded in my [C] armor
[Dm] Hiding [Em] in my room, [Dm] safe [Em] within my womb
I [Dm] touch [F] no one and no [G] one touches me I [C] am a rock, [F] [G]
[C]
and [Dm] a rock [C] feels no pain
And [Dm] an island [G] [C] never cries
