[Verse 1]
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
Oh, I need your love, your love protects my fears
[Chorus]
And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
Oh, I need you to turn to when I lose control
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
[Verse 2]
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 the grace of a dove
[Chorus]
And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
Oh, I need you to turn to when I lose control
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
[Outro]
Thank you.
When we started rehearsals in Brisbane when we first got here, I, being so forgetful, had to learn all the words again to some of these songs, because I haven't sung them in over a decade. And, uh, it made me realize how wonderful some of these lyrics by Taupin are. And this next one is one of my favorites, in the top ten anyway. It's called "The Greatest Discovery."
