Ava's Attic - If I Die Young Lyrics

Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she's underneath 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, yeah

If I die young bury me in leather
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away to the words of a rock song

And I'll be wearing black as I come into your kingdom
I hope my burdens drown as I swim up to the ceiling
But I know I'll miss the girl that said she'd love me forever
Who would've known that forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
And I've ran all out of time, yeah yeah

If I die young bury me in leather
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away to the words of a rock song

If I die young bury me in leather
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away to the words of a rock song

If I die young bury me in leather
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away to the words of a rock song
If I die young bury me in leather
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away to the words of a rock song
If I die young bury me in leather
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away to the words of a rock song

If I die young
