Lyrics
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 gray, 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

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana;line-height:normal;">A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana;line-height:normal;">They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana;line-height:normal;">And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana;line-height:normal;">Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
