[Verse]AA winter's dayD AIn a deep and dark December;Bm E D AI am a lone,Bm E Bm EGazing from my window to the streets belowBm D EOn a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.[Chorus]AI am a rock,E AI am an is-land.A F#m[Verse]AI've built walls,D AA fortress deep and mighty,Bm E D AThat none may penetrate.Bm E Bm EI have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.Bm D EIt's laughter and it's loving I disdain.[Chorus]AI am a rock,E AI am an is-land.A F#m[Verse]ADon't talk of love,D AI've heard the words before;Bm E D AIt's sleeping in my memory.Bm E Bm EAnd I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.Bm D EIf I never loved I never would have cried.[Chorus]AI am a rock,E AI am an is-land.A F#m[Verse]AI have my booksD AAnd my poetry to protect me;Bm E D AI am shielded in my armor,Bm E Bm EHiding in my room, safe within my womb.Bm D EI touch no one and no one touches me.[Chorus]AI am a rock,E A AI am an is-land.D F#m E AAnd a rock feels no pain;D F#m E AAnd an island nev er cries.
