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

If I die young

Bury me in satin
A Bm
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
G D A

And I' ll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom

I' m as green as the ring on my little cold finger

A penny for my thoughts

A Bm
Funny when you' re dead how people start listening

Save ' em for a time when you' re really gonna need ' em
