Nikita

Song by Elton John.


Hey Nikita, is it cold?
In your little corner of the world?
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know
Oh, I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin souldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

*   Oh Nikita, you will never know
Anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you (hold you)
Nikita I need you so
Oh, Nikita is the other side,
Of any given line in time,
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row?
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know

Do you ever dream of me?
Do you ever see the letters that I write?
When you look up through the wire,
Nikita, do you count the stars at night?
And there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

[repeat *]

[instrumental interlude]

Oh Nikita, you will never know (never know)
Anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh, Nikita is the other side,
Of any given line in time,
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row?
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know

   

[repeat along and fade away:]
(Nikita)
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
