[Verse 1]
           C        F/C                C
A winter's day in a deep and dark December
Dm  G   F   C
  I am alone
Dm             Em     Dm              Em
Gazing from my window to the street below
     Dm
On a freshly fallen,
F                G
silent shroud of snow

[Chorus]
           C F         G C
I am a rock  I am an is_land
Am        C
  I build walls

[Verse 2]
  F                        C
A fortress steep and mighty
     Dm      G F    C
That none may  penetrate
  Dm                    Em
I have no need of friendship
Dm                Em
Friendship causes pain
     Dm                F           G
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

[Chorus]
           C F         G C
I am a rock  I am an is_land
Am              C
  Don't talk of love

[Verse 3]
        F                     C
Well, I have heard the word before
     Dm  G          F   C
It's sleeping in my memory
  Dm                Em
I won't disturb the slumber
   Dm                 Em
Of feelings that have died
     Dm
If I never loved,
  F                G
I never would have cried

[Chorus]
           C F         G C
I am a rock  I am an is_land
Am          C
  I have my books

[Verse 4]
      F             C
And my poetry to protect me
    Dm     G         F C
I am  shielded in my armor
Dm           Em    Dm             Em
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
  Dm               F              G
I touch no one and no one touches me

[Chorus]
           C F         G C
I am a rock  I am an is_land

[Outro]
      Dm        G   C
And a rock feels no pain
       Dm     G     C
And an island never cries
