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
colors
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, you
know
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
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
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 them 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
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep them in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need
them
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses
