- Nikita LyricsHey 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
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
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

I was in boarding school when one night this picked up a guitar and no one knew he could play and he sang Nakita like Elton himself could have been in the room - this song still takes me back to that

Just to put the detail right, Nikita is a male name. Never female. Well, not where it originated centuries ago and is in common use till now.

I believe it was written in 1985 about a ficticious girl behind the Berlin Wall that really came down in 1989. 'AND IF THERE COMES A TIME GUNS AND GATES NO LONGER HOLD YOU IN', still gives me chills.

I've loved this song since I was little. Just wondering if anyone knows who he wrote this about. I've heard Princess Diana.. but don't know how true it is.
