Take me for granted, I think that I could stand it
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 the 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 a 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
