Before Andrea passed away, this song brought great grief to my heart...the sharp knife of short life....my eyes would well up everytime we heard it, after she passed away...every word and syllable described her....the rainbow, the boy, even the ring on her finger. I was blessed in this life to mother 3 beautiful girls, one happens to now reside where I long to be. If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in a river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song Uh oh, uh oh Lord make me a rainbow, Ill shine down on my mother Shell know Im safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh, And life aint always what you think it ought to be, no Aint even grey, but she buries her baby The sharp knife of a short life, oh well Ive 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, oh well Ive had just enough time And Ill be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom Im as green as the ring on my little cold finger, Ive never known the lovin of a man But it sure felt nice when he was holdin my hand, Theres a boy here in town, says hell love me forever, Who would have thought forever could be severed by... ...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well? Ive had just enough time So put on your best, boys, and Ill wear my pearls What I never did is done A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, Ill sell em for a dollar Theyre worth so much more after Im a goner And maybe then youll hear the words I been singin Funny when youre 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 (uh, oh) The ballad of a dove (uh, oh) Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep em in your pocket Save em for a time when youre really gonna need em, oh The sharp knife of a short life, oh well Ive had just enough time So put on your best, boys, and Ill wear my pearls.
