I Need You To Turn To

Elton John · 5 Classic Albums 1970-1973 [2012]

You're not a ship to carry my life

You are nailed to my love on many lonely nights

I strayed from the cottages and found myself here

For I need your love, your love protests my fears



And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind

But I need you to turn to when I act so blind

And I need you to turn to when I lose control

You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold



Did you paint your smile well I said I knew

That my reason for living was for loving you

We're related in feeling but you're high above

You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove



And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind

But I need you to turn to when I act so blind

And I need you to turn to when I lose control

You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
