The little cuckoo clock sounded
Dad kissed my forehead
He said "goodnight, little one"
And he turned off the light

Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light, I'm scared
Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light and stop the time

This love song
Is for my dad
He escaped into the wind
He left us alone

This love song
Is for my mom
Who endured everything
It hurt her to the bone

That's why mom
Cried in silence
She cried at night
And how she endured in the mornings

Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light, I'm scared
Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light and stop the time

This love song
Is for my siblings
We grew up together
We missed him for years

This cry of love
I give it to the sky
I ask so much, so much, so much
It answers nothing

Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light, I'm scared
Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light and stop the time

Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light, how I miss him
Hey, cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light
