Elton John - I Can't Steer My Heart Clear Of You lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album the big picture<br><br>Take me for granted, I think that I could stand it<br>After all these rough seas<br>Left me reckless and abandoned<br>Say the spirits willing, chance a new beginning<br>Break down the cold front<br>Give me peace and understanding<br><br>And you wait, and you wonder<br>Will she still beat the drum and bring the thunder<br>Will she still be the star to see me through<br>'cause I can't steer my heart clear of you<br><br>No I can't steer my heart clear of you<br>It's the way it's been, ever since you sailed<br>Out of a storm and into view<br>And should I drift away, the compass holds the clue<br>You control the weather<br>And I can't steer my heart clear of you<br><br>Make me your penance, show me your innocence<br>Everything is history<br>From the aching to the pleasure<br>We enjoy the torture, the slow pain that it taught us<br>Everything gets twisted<br>Let me burn or bring me water
