This House Called Love - Maximilian Hecker

We moved into this house called love

Right at the crack of dawn

And cheered to praise the Lord above

«Oh, Father, we’re reborn»

«This is our home and here’s my plan»

She said to me outright

«Let's never leave this house again»

And locked all doors and lights

But suddenly I felt the need

To run and leave our space

It had become a cage indeed

There was no beauty’s trace

But when she said «You're free to go»

I felt I want to stay

I saw again our house’s glow

And doubts they slipped away

And then one day this house called love

Right at the crack of gloom

It was decayed and from above

The snow fell on our ruin
