That Tender Feeling
I have that tender feeling
for every fool, for every fool
who wanders around outside without a purpose
who are nobody's is a servant, no one's master
I have that tender feeling
for anyone who expresses themselves loudly
who experiences every gesture as cold
for whom every herd closes down
I have that tender feeling
for those who are confused in a dream
and where that dream defies the truth
sometimes his laugh sounds just a little too loud
I have that tender feeling
for every woman, for every man
who can love another person in complete defenselessness
I have that tender feeling
for every woman, for every man
who in complete defenselessness
loving another person is possible
