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.
You would never listen. You would block out my words. Only your words matter.
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 colours, oh and life ain't always what you think it oughta 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.
Well if you do not listen I could die. You would have to live with the fact you killed me.
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.
Please listen. Or get me help. Or both.
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.
Well, I've had just enough time.
There is so much I want to do. Please.
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 been singin'.
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'.
Maybe you will listen afterwards. Just maybe.
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.
I beg of you. Listen.
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 your really gonna need 'em oh, 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.
Please.
