Sweet Leaf

Oh sweet leaf Swaying in the wind Under stars and moon And sunrise gloom Hanging on the tree That gives you life Oh sweet leaf Has your time come? Will your journey begin? Afraid of falling and falling With the wind Away, away from your origin Oh sweet leaf How was it? Hanging under stars Feeling the wind Knowing you're safe Clinging on to me Oh sweet leaf Why did you leave? Why didn't you stay? How can I be your guardian angel When you are away? Oh dear father Let me tell you I loved to sway in the wind Under the stars and moon And sunrise gloom Clinging on to you Oh dear father Can't you see? I am not running away I am just searching For the real me Oh dear mother Why do we have to go? Why don't we stay? How can we be yours When we are always Always away? Oh sweet leaf When your time comes When your journey begins We'll be there And when you are falling and falling We'll be there to catch you
