If I Die Young 歌詞
If I Die Young - Irish Voices
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
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be
Think it ought to be
Ain't even grey 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 love song
The sharp knife of a short life
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 boy here in town says 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
Before a day
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 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 love song
Before a day
Oh oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears and keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need
Before a day
The sharp knife of a short life
Well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my
Pearls
