A chordA winter's day, in a deep and dark Gecember;
Dm chordDm G chordG F chordF C chordC
I am alone,

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.

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.

And a rock feels no pain;

And an island never cries.
