Nikita

(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)



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.



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.
