1. Burden Is Mine... Alone

1. Burden Is Mine... Alone
I feel the blood under my skin
like so many times before
this journey got the best of me
and I am sorry I couldn't wait anymore
The burden is mine... alone
I feel the blood under my skin
and I hate every part of me
how could I lose the only thing worth keeping
now I'm sorry I didn't wait for you
The burden is mine... alone
2. 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 away?
Oh sweet leaf
When your time comes
3. Transparent Me
4. Six Ribbons (Jon English cover)
If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs
To tell the whole world of the love that we share
If I were a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds
With six blood red roses for my love to wear
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six carriages
And six snow white horses to take you anywhere
If I were the emperor I'd build you six palaces
With six hundred servants for comforting fare
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs
To tell the whole world of the love that we share
So be not afraid love, you're never alone love
While you wear my ribbons to tie back your hair
Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share
Is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
