Elton John – Nikita Lyrics

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

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

(Nikita) counting ten tin soldiers in a row
(Nikita) counting ten tin soldiers in a row
(Nikita) counting ten tin soldiers in a row
