Sweet Leaf Lyrics - Green Carnation

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 away? 

Oh sweet leaf 

When your time comes
