[Verse 1]
           
A winter's day
             
In a deep and 

          
dark December
       
^ I am alone
            
Gazing from my

         
 window, to th

            
e streets belo


w
            
On a freshly f

             
allen silent s

         
hroud of snow
             
I am a rock...

           
 I am an is- l

and
          

[Verse 2]
           
I've built wal

ls
             
A fortress dee

      
p and mighty
           
That none may 

     
pen-etrate
            
I have no need

           
 of friendship

            
, friendship c

      
auses pain
            
It's laughter 

             
and it's lovin

       
g I disdain
             
I am a rock...

           
 I am an is- l

and
          

[Verse 3]
              
Don't talk of 


love
             
Well I've hear

              
d the words be

It's sleeping 

         
in my memory
            
I won't distur

           
b the slumber,

            
 of feelings t

If I never lov

[Verse 4]
          
I have my book

s
             
And my poetry 

      
to protect me
           
I am shielded 

       
in my armor
           
Hiding in my r

          
oom, safe with

      
in my womb
            
I touch no one

             
 and no one to

I am a rock...

           
 I am an is- l
