Lyrics
Siobhan 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

Both: Uh oh, uh oh

Siobhan: 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 well Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

Both: 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

Alec: 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 woman But it sure felt nice when she was holdin' my hand, There's a girl here in town, says she'll love me forever, Who would have thought forever could be severed by

Both: The sharp knife of a short life, well, I've had just enough time

Siobhan: So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls What I never did is done

Both: A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em 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

Uh oh (Alec:uh, oh)

Siobhan: The ballad of a dove (Alec:oh, uh) Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

Both: 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
