Land of a Million Stars
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.
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.
- 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
- and life ain't always what you think it outta be
- ain't even gray but she buries her baby
- 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
- 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 singing
-
funny when you're dead how people start listening
the end.
