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.

            Dmi7    G7     C 
     and an island never cries ...
