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
Oh, and 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
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 long 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 love 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
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 'em 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 you're 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, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh



The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in sating
Lay me down.
