歌词

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, Ill shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you
When she stands under my colors
Oh and life aint always what you think it ought to be, no
Aint 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
Ive never known the lovin of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
Theres a boy here in town says hell love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
Ive had just enough time
So put on your best boys and Ill wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no Ill sell them for a dollar
Theyre worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then youll hear the words I been singin’
Funny when youre 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, well
Ive had just enough time
So put on your best boys and Ill wear my pearls
