1. A winter's day in a deep and dark December
   Dmi G7 F C  Dmi7            Emi7
   I am alone gazzing from my window
    Dmi7           Emi7
   to the streets below
          Dmi           F                 G
   on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

   F       C    F       G7 C   Ami (Ami, Ami, Ami, C)
R: I am a rock I am an island.

2. I've built walls a fortress deep and mighty
   that's none may penetrate I have no need of friendship,
   friendship causes pain
   it's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

R:

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 feelings that have died
   if I never loved I never would have cried.

R:

4. I have my books and my poetry to protect me
   I am shielded in my armour hidding in my room
   safe within my womb
   I touch no one and no one touches me.
