๐ Lyrics
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 gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Oh 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
Oh 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 lovin' 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 would have thought forever
Could be severed by
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Oh 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
Oh-oh, (oh-oh)
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears,
Keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time
When you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Oh Well,
I've had
Just enough time
So put on your best, boys,
and I'll wear my pearls
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 gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Oh 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
Oh 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 lovin' 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 would have thought forever
Could be severed by
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Oh 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
Oh-oh, (oh-oh)
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears,
Keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time
When you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Oh Well,
I've had
Just enough time
So put on your best, boys,
and I'll wear my pearls
