[Verse 1]

Dm
Oh sweet leaf
N.C
Swaying in the wind
N.C
Under stars and moon

And sunrise gloom
Gm
Hanging on to the tree
Bb
That gives you life


[Verse 2]

Dm
Oh sweet leaf
N.C
Has your time come?
N.C
Will your journey begin?
N.C
Afraid of falling and falling
Gm
With the wind
Bb
Away, away from your origin


[Verse 3]

Dm
Oh sweet leaf
N.C
How was it?
N.C
Hanging under stars
N.C
Feeling the wind
Gm
Knowing you're safe
Bb
Clinging on to me


[Verse 4]

Dm
Oh sweet leaf
N.C
Why did you leave?
N.C
Why didn't you stay?
N.C               Gm
How can I be your guardian angel?
Bb
When you are away?


[Verse 5]

Dm
Oh dear father
N.C
Let me tell you
N.C
I loved to sway in the wind
N.C
Under the stars and moon
Gm
And sunrise gloom
Bb
Clinging on to you


[Verse 6]

Dm
Oh dear father
N.C
Can't you see?
N.C
I am not running away
                Gm
I am just searching
Bb
For the real me


[Verse 7]

Dm
Oh dear mother
N.C
Why do we have to go?
N.C
Why don't we stay?
N.C
How can I be yours?
Gm          Bb       Dm
When we are always away?


[Final Verse]

Dm
Oh sweet leaf
N.C
When your time comes
N.C
When your journey begins
N.C
I'll be there
Gm
When you're falling and falling
Bb               Dm
I'll be there to catch you
