All These Cradles' Blankets Will Never Veil My Whole Substance - Maximilian Hecker

I hear the sound of those heavenly bells

You’re keeping away from me

I see the grace of those spiritual signs

You’re keeping away from me

I’ve found this sea of thousand mermaids beaming with gladness

But when I try to touch their figures, they vanish with laughter

When all you’ve got to do is stay

And all you’ve got to say is «My love»

All you’ve got to do is leave

Cause all that I am is nothing, nothing

I taste the tang of those devious lies

You’re telling me, oh, with a sneer

I feel the pain of this half-hearted love

You’re offering me with your scorn

I’ve found this house of thousand bedrooms waiting in silence

But all these cradles' blankets never veil my whole substance
