I Am a Rock

1. A winter's day in a deep and dark December

I am alone gazzing from my window

Dmi7 Emi7

to the streets below

on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

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.

R: + and a rock feels no pain

and an island never cries ...
