Lyrics[]
Halt dich fest an mir, wenn du den Mut verlierst
Ich will zärtlich sein, dass du nicht frierst
Du bist wie ein Kind, das ich behüten will
Was mit uns beginnt, ist nur noch Gefühl
Auch du hast das Feuer oft berührt
Bist d'ran verbrannt, hast dich nur darin verirrt
Unser Feuer brennt, langsam und still
Denn es gibt für uns nur noch Gefühl
Und nie mehr diese Leere spür'n
Nur noch Gefühl und nie mehr
Diese Liebe auf Zeit, in Einsamkeit
Nur noch Gefühl
Komm' ganz nah zu mir, weil ich dich spüren will
Und ich gebe dir nur noch Gefühl
Soviel du willst, nur noch Gefühl
Soviel ich hab', nur noch Gefühl
Nur noch Gefühl
Hold me tight, when you lose courage
I want to be tender, so you don't have to freeze
You're like a child, that I want to protect
At the beginning, we only have feelings
Also, you've often touched the fire
You've burned yourself on it, you only got lost in it
Our fire burns, slowly and quietly
Because for us, only feelings exist
And we'll never feel this emptiness again
Only feelings, and nothing more
This love for a time, in loneliness
Are only feelings
Come closer to me, because I want to feel you
And I only give you feelings
As much as you want, only feelings
As much as I have, only feelings
Only feelings
