Lyrics by bernie taupin

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
