"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, and 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 ought to be, no. Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby.
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 by.
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 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 singin'. Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'.
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 your really gonna need 'em.
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls.

The sharp knife of a short life, well... I've had just enough time"
