If I Die Young Songtext

von The Band Perry

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 lovesong

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 lovesong

The sharp knife of a short life
Well I've had just enough time

And I'll wearing white
When I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring
On my little cold finger
I've never know the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice
When he was holding my hand
There is a boy here in town
Say's he'll love me forever
Who would have thought
Forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life
Well I've had just enough time

So put on you're best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thought
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 been singin'
Funny when you're dead
How people start listenin'

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 lovesong
Oh, oh

The ballad of dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up you're tears
Keep them in you're poket
Save them for a time
When you really need them oh

The sharp knife of a short live
Well I've had just enough time

So put on you're best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
