"
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 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
-And maybe then you'll hear the words I been
singin'
Funny when your dead
how people start
listenin "
Truly
a BEAUTIFUL
song.

it's bluegrass technically. and it is so beautiful. i love that they're still getting radio time even though it's been out for a while. it played on the way to my friend's mom's funeral and it was too sad so i turned the station but it was on there too so i just sat there and cried about the lyrics and how they fit

I absolutely l o v e this song. ♥ But, I'm starting to get sick of it, cause it's so overplayed . It's starting to get annoying. I liked when it first came out last year....
