Her har du hele teksten:

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

 

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 loving 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 'em 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

 

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 ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

 

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

 

Den betyr nok litt forskjellig etter hvem du spør, men sånn jeg tolker den så handler den om en ung person som tenker gjennom hvordan ting ville vært om h*n dør, hvordan de rundt reagerer, om h*n da vil bli hørt og ønsker sine nærmeste det beste. H*n prøver kanskje til og med å ende livet, men fullfører det ikke
