Lyrics
Hold me close, don't fear my body
The flesh is weak, in need of touching
Your hands are hungry for want of knowing
Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing
Light the white flags of surrender
The war is over, the battle's ended
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting
Can't you feel my love?
Can't, can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched
Can't you feel my love?
Like the sky touches the sea
Arising, we will be
Can't you feel my love?
In my arms no fear of falling
We can share my gravity
See how time will stop forever
The moment that our eyes do meet
Light the white flags of surrender
The war is over, the battle's ended
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting
Can't you feel my love?
Can't, can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched
Can't you feel my love?
Like the moon touches the sun
An eclipse, then we'll be gone
Can't you feel my love?
Capture my senses
Ravage my perception
Take me, take me away!
Away!
Love!
Hold me close, don't fear my body
The flesh is weak, in need of touching
Your hands are hungry for want of knowing
Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing
Light the white flags of surrender
The war is over, the battle's ended
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting
Can't you feel my love?
Can't, can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched
Can't you feel my love?
Like the sky touches the sea
Arising, we will be
Can't you feel my love?
(Can't you feel my love?) Oh, yeah!
(Can't you feel my love?) Oh, yeah!
Can't you feel my love?
(Love, love, can't you feel my love?) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Can't you feel my love?) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Can't you feel my love?) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Love, love, can't you feel my love?)
(Can't you feel my love?) Can't you? Can't you feel my love?
(Can't you feel my love?)
(Love, love...)
