[00:00.00]If I Die Young - The Grafton Street Buskers
[00:00.87]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:04.13]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:07.38]Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:10.61]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:15.41]Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother
[00:18.81]She'll know I'm safe with you
[00:20.39]When she stands under my colors
[00:22.17]Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be no
[00:26.66]Ain't even grey but she buries her baby
[00:30.30]The sharp knife of a short life well
[00:36.70]I've had just enough time
[00:42.05]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:45.06]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:48.31]Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:51.68]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:56.28]The sharp knife of a short life well
[01:03.04]I've had just enough time
[01:08.42]And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:11.61]I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:15.89]I've never known the loving of a man
[01:18.72]But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:22.38]There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:25.60]Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:29.26]The sharp knife of a short life well
[01:35.99]I've had just enough time
[01:41.04]If I die young bury me in satin
[01:44.19]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[01:47.48]Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:50.81]Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:55.76]The sharp knife of a short life well
[02:02.24]Save them for a time
[02:07.51]A penny for my thoughts oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:11.41]They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
[02:14.60]And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
[02:17.95]Funny when you're dead how people start listening
[02:23.57]If I die young bury me in satin
[02:27.00]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:30.23]Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:33.53]Send me away with the words of a love song
[02:39.31]The ballad of a dove
[02:42.26]Go with peace and love
[02:44.56]Gather up your tears keep 'em in your pocket
[02:47.83]Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
[02:51.66]The sharp knife of a short life well
[02:58.07]I've had just enough time
