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 forever Who would have thought forever could be severed by
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 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’
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 I’ve had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearlsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
