Nikita

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album ice on fire



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 soldiers 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

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 if 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
