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
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
Ho ho
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
