[00:00.81]If I Die Young - Midday Sun
[00:06.84]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:10.55]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:14.21]Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:17.67]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:22.05]Oh oh oh oh
[00:28.60]Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother
[00:32.29]She'll know I'm safe with you
[00:34.07]When she stands under my colors oh and
[00:37.56]Life ain't always what you think it ought to be no
[00:41.04]Ain't even grey but she buries her baby
[00:44.97]The sharp knife of a short life well
[00:52.33]I've had just enough time
[00:58.04]If I die young bury me in satin
[01:01.70]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[01:05.39]Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:08.87]Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:14.39]The sharp knife of a short life well
[01:21.66]I've had just enough time
[01:27.25]And I'll be wearing white when
[01:29.85]I come into your kingdom
[01:31.81]I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:35.28]I've never known the loving of a man
[01:39.06]But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:42.75]There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:46.83]Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:50.95]The sharp knife of a short life well
[01:58.08]I've had just enough time
[02:19.43]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:24.29]What I never did is done
[02:27.80]A penny for my thoughts oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:32.60]There worth so much more after I'm a goner
[02:35.94]And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
[02:39.67]Funny when you're dead how people start listening
[02:51.68]If I die young bury me in satin
[02:55.26]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:58.91]Sink me in the river at dawn
[03:02.20]Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:06.98]Oh oh
[03:08.89]The ballad of a dove
[03:12.32]Go with peace and love
[03:14.53]Gather up your tears keep them in your pocket
[03:18.31]Save them for a time when you
[03:20.20]Really gonna need them oh
[03:22.55]The sharp knife of a short life well
[03:29.84]I've had just enough time
[03:36.10]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
