How does it feel 02:09

To treat me like you do? 02:12

When you've laid your hands upon me 02:15

And told me who you are 02:19

I thought I was mistaken 02:23

I thought I heard your words 02:27

Tell me how do I feel 02:30

Tell me now, how do I feel 02:34

Those who came before me 02:38

Lived through their vocations 02:42

From the past until completion 02:45

They'll turn away no more 02:48

I still find it so hard 02:52

To say what I need to say 02:56

But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me 03:00

Just how I should feel today 03:03

03:08

I see a ship in the harbor 03:33

I can and shall obey 03:37

But if it wasn't for your misfortune 03:40

I'd be a heavenly person today 03:43

And I thought I was mistaken 03:48

And I thought I heard you speak 03:51

Tell me, how do I feel 03:55

Tell me now, how should I feel 03:59

Now I stand here waiting 04:03

04:07

I thought I told you to leave me 04:17

While I walk down to the beach 04:20

Tell me how does it feel 04:24

When your heart grows cold, grows cold... 04:28

04:32

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

How does it feel

To treat me like you do?

When you've laid your hands upon me

And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken

I thought I heard your words

Tell me how do I feel

Tell me now, how do I feel

Those who came before me

Lived through their vocations

From the past until completion

They'll turn away no more

I still find it so hard

To say what I need to say

But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me

Just how I should feel today

...

I see a ship in the harbor

I can and shall obey

But if it wasn't for your misfortune

I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken

And I thought I heard you speak

Tell me, how do I feel

Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting

...

I thought I told you to leave me

While I walk down to the beach

Tell me how does it feel

When your heart grows cold, grows cold...
