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
