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

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 and see me through?

Because 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

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

You control the weather, and I can’t steer my heart clear of you
