Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Oh, Nikita, you will never know

Anything about my home

I'll never know how good it feels to hold you (Hold you)

Nikita, I need you so

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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?

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

Oh, Nikita, you will never know

Anything about my home

I'll never know how good it feels to hold you (Hold you)

Nikita, I need you so

[Verse 8]

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

[Verse 9]

Oh, Nikita, you will never know

Never know anything about my home

I'll never know how good it feels to hold you

Nikita, I need you so

[Verse 10]

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

[Verse 11]

(Nikita) Counting ten tin soldiers in a row

(Nikita) Counting ten tin soldiers in a row

(Nikita) Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
