Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album the big picture



Take me for granted, i think that i could stand it

After all these rough seas

Left me reckless and abandoned

Say the spirits willing, chance a new beginning

Break down the cold front

Give me peace and understanding



And you wait, and you wonder

Will she still beat the drum and bring the thunder

Will she still be the star to see me through

'cause i can't steer my heart clear of you





No i can't steer my heart clear of you

It's the way it's been, ever since you sailed

Out of a storm and into view

And should i drift away, the compass holds the clue

You control the weather

And i can't steer my heart clear of you





Make me your penance, show me your innocence

Everything is history

From the aching to the pleasure

We enjoy the torture, the slow pain that it taught us

Everything gets twisted

Let me burn or bring me water
