Tuesday's Tunes

I love this song for it's powerful lyrics. I think that it carries a heavy and and all to true message that life is way to short.


"If I Die Young" by The Band Perry



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


Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe when she stands under my colors,
Oh and, life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, 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, and I've
Never know 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 forvever
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 you best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughs, 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 your 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

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 them for a time when your 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.
