Am C D
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty,

It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

If I never loved I never would have cried.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.

I touch no one and no one touches me.

I am a rock, I am an i sland.

And a rock feels no pain

And an island never cries.
