a winter's day

Verse  
Fm Bb  Ab Eb 
I  am alone, 
Fm             Bb      Fm                Bb 
Gazing from my window to the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

I've built walls,

a fortress deep and mighty,

That none may penetrate.

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

It's sleeping in my memory. 
      Fm                Bb          Fm                 Bb 
And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.

If I never loved I never would have cried.

I am shielded in my armor,

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.

I touch no one and no one touches me.

I am an is-land.

And an island never cries.
