take me for granted
I think that I could stand
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 me 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 the 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

and you wait and you wonder
will she still beat the drum and bring me 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 the 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
