If I die young bury me in satin
|
Lay me down on a bed of roses
|
Sink me in the river at dawn
|
Send me away with the words of a love song
|
oh oh oh oh
|
|
Lord make me a rainbow
|
I'll shine down on my mother
|
She'll know I'm safe with you
|
when she stands under my colors oh and
|
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be no
|
ain't even grey but she buries her baby
|
|
The sharp knife of a short life well
|
I've had just enough time
|
|
If I die young bury me in satin
|
Lay me down on a bed of roses
|
Sink me in the river at dawn
|
Send me away with the words of a love song
|
|
The sharp knife of a short life well
|
I've had just enough time
|
|
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
|
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
|
I've never fell in love with no one
|
But it sure felt nice when I held you in the sun
|
And you, you took my hand said you'll love me forever
|
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
|
|
The sharp knife of a short life well
|
I've had just enough time
|
|
A penny for my thoughts
|
oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
|
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
|
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin?
|
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin...
|
|
If I die young bury me in satin
|
Lay me down on a bed of roses
|
Sink me in the river at dawn
|
Send me away with the words of a love song
|
oh oh
|
|
The ballad of a dove
|
Go with peace and love
|
Gather up your tears keep 'em in your pocket
|
Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
|
|
The sharp knife of a short life
|
