I Need You to Turn to Lyrics

I Need You To Turn To

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Album Elton John 1970

You're not a ship
To carry my life
You are nailed to my love
In many lonely nights

I've strayed from the cottages
And found myself here
For I need your love
Your love protects 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 on
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 a 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
