[00:00.770]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:04.490]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:08.240]Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:11.680]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:17.650]oh oh oh oh
[00:22.560]Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
[00:26.330]She'll know I'm safe with you
[00:27.890]When she stands under my colors
[00:30.000]Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
[00:35.020]Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[00:39.020]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[00:46.180]I’ve had just enough time
[00:52.020]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:55.670]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:59.360]Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:02.950]Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:08.150]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:15.430]I’ve had just enough time
[01:21.660]And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:25.830]I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:29.320]I've never known the loving of a man
[01:32.950]But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:36.580]There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:40.630]Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:45.110]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:52.160]I've had just enough time
[02:13.520]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:18.460]What I never did is done
[02:22.580]A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:27.190]They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
[02:30.640]And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
[02:34.830]Funny when you're dead how people start listening
[02:47.190]If I die young bury me in satin
[02:50.670]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:54.470]Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:58.020]Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:02.360]Oh oh
[03:05.160]The ballad of a dove
[03:07.820]Go with peace and love
[03:10.040]Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
[03:13.690]Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
[03:18.200]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[03:25.270]I've had just enough time
[03:31.820]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
