4I  am alone,
Fm7             A#8      Fm9                A#10
5Gazing from my window to the streets below
     Fm11             G#12                A#13
6On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

           D#17
13I've built walls,
  G#18                 D#19
14a fortress deep and mighty,
     Fm20   A#21   G#22   D#23
15That none may penetrate.
  Fm24              A#25           Fm26                A#27
16I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
      Fm28               G#29           A#30
17It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

24Don't talk of love,
     G#35                 D#36
25I've heard the words before;
     Fm37   A#38         G#39   D#40
26It's sleeping in my memory.
      Fm41                A#42          Fm43                 A#44
27And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
     Fm45            G#46                A#47
28If I never loved I never would have cried.

35I have my books

37
       G#52            D#53
38And my poetry to protect me;
     Fm54   A#55         G#56   D#57
39I am shielded in my armor,

41
Fm58           A#59     Fm60             A#61
42Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.

  Fm62               G#63              A#64
45I touch no one and no one touches me.

      G#68     Gm69      D#70
52And a rock  feels no pain;
       G#71      Gm72   D#73
53And an island never cries.
