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
