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
When your journey begins
We'll be there
And when you are falling and falling
We'll be there to catch you
