If I Die Young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, 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 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
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 fore
