This morning you searched for me by the sea
In between the seaweed and the stones
Yet you only found a silver fish
His death left you crying bitterly
You searched for me in the house on the rocks
In the basement, in rooms and closets
You only found dust, but no reason
Clinging on to your hope
You can't find me, I've hidden myself
I've covered your eyes with shadow
You can't find me, you can't see me
Close your eyes, count to ten again
You've got me searching for friends and foes
Poets and judges have been bribed
This and that, but you're at a loss
Now you count the days and weeks
You've asked all the witches and wizards
They've read into balls and stars
But I never find false prophets
So long as they do not learn to search
You can't find me, I've hidden myself
I've covered your eyes in shadow
You can't find me, you can't see me
Close your eyes, count to ten again
Search in every corner, behind the hedges
I will hid myself and be silent
Look over your shoulder, maybe I'm there
At the right time I will show myself
