1.
C
A winter's day-
     F               C
in a deep and dark December
Dm G7  F    C
I am alone-
Dm7            Em7    Dm7              Em7
Gazing from my window to the streets below
     Dm             F                G
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

F      C      F       G    C      Am
I am a rock,  I am an island.

2.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mity
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
friendship causes pain
It's laughter and loving I disdain

I am a rock, I am an island

3.
Don't talk of love
but I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of the feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried

I am a rock, I am an island

4.
I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
I touch no one and no one touches me.
F      C     F       G    C
I am a rock, I am an island
      Dm7  G        C            Dm7    G     C
And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.
