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 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 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
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 your 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
Oh oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
Its so hard to let you go
Its so hard to watch you leave
I try to speak up
I try to talk things out
But I can never find the words...
I've always been a pro when it came to talkin' till now.
*sigh*
I almost saw something in you last night. I almost saw that man I fell in love with, and God knows how badly I truely wanted to grasp onto you and not let you go...but I watched as you faded to black.
You didn't want this...right?
I don't.
I never will be okay with this.
But I'm tired.
And you haven't cared for awhile.
In this life I've had a lot of " me's, and I's" but everyone knows I put You first. And God knows I would bend...but there's a difference between bending and breaking for you...and I've done both.
I lay on an old couch waiting for the night to be over, without you there nights are so unbearable. I hate admitting how much I need you. But for the first time in 6 years I got sick - horribly sick- and you weren't there.
Still not.
You call yourself a Freeman
Well tell me this
Does a freeman bear the chains you have strapped to you?
Didn't think so
Why can't I just be mad at you and be 'better off without you'
