Sweet Leaf - Green Carnation

Oh sweet leaf

Swaying in the wind

Under stars and moon

And sunrise gloom

Hanging on to the tree that gives you life

Oh sweet leaf

Has your time come?

Will your journey begin?

I’m afraid of falling and falling

With the wind

Away, away from your origins

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’d love to sway in the wind

Under stars and moon

And sunrise gloom

Clinging on to you

Oh dear father

Can’t you see?

I’m not running away

I’m 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
