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
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
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 known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town
Says he'll love me forever
Who ever thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
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've been singing
Funny when your dead how people start listening
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
Uh oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears and keep them in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them
The sharp knife of a short life
Well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
