Intro
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
Verse 1
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
Refrain
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
Chorus
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
Refrain
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
Verse 2
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 loving 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
Refrain
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
Instrumental
G D A D6add9/A x2
Bridge
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 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
Funny when you're dead how people start listening
Instrumental
Chorus
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
Post-Chorus
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 you're really gonna need 'em, oh
Refrain
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
Outro
So put on your best, boys
And I'll wear my pearls
