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
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 colours

Oh well,
Life ain´t always what you 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 shirt 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 know 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´ve thought forever
Could be severed by the sharp knife of a short life
Well I´ve had just enough time

Ooooh...

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 gonner
And maybe then you´ll hear the words...
