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

I Can't Steer My Heart Clear Of You

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
