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
