IF I DIE
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
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 colours
oh and
Life ain't always
what you think

it ought to he no
ain't even grey
but she huries her baby
The sharp knife
of a short Ii ..... is 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 li....fe 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 l
The sharp knife
of a short li...fe well

I've had
just enough ti ..... me

So put on your best buys
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 Iistenin'
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-ooh

the ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love

gather up your tears
keep 'em in your pocket
The sharp knife
of a short li...fe well

I've had
just enough ti....me
So put on your best boys

and I'll wear my pearls
