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 im safe with you when she stands down under my colours,
Life aint always what you think it would be,
aint even gray n she buries her baby.
the sharp knife of a short life,
well ive had just enough time.
and i'll be wearing white when i come into your kingdom,
im as green as my little cold finger,
ive never known a loving of a man,
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand.
there's a boy in this town,
he says he'll love me forever,
who would have thought forever could be severed by,
the sharp knife of a short.
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 down with the words of a love song.
