Lyrics
A certain Tenderness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I feel a certain tenderness
for every fool and every clown
whose pure intentions set him free
who won't give up or be held down
I feel a certain tenderness
for him who dares to speak his mind
whose every gesture's from the heart
who knows that faith should not be blind
I feel a certain tenderness
for those entangled in their dreams
and when confronted with the truth
they laugh it off, or so it seems
I feel a certain tenderness
for every woman, every man
who in complete defenselessness
will give their love to whom they can
I feel a certain tenderness
for every woman, every man
who in complete defenselessness
will give their love because they can
