Song: If I Die Young

Artist: The Band Perry



If I die young, bury me in lavender

Lay me down on a nest of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song,

Uh oh, Uh oh

StarClan 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 grey, but she buries her she-kit

The sharp claw of a short life

Oh well, I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in lavender

Lay me down on a nest of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp claw of a short life

Oh well, I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your Clan camp

As green as the ring on my little cold tail

I've never known the loving of a tom

But it sure felt nice when he was entwining my tail

There's a tom here in the lake, says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp claw of a short life

Oh well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, toms, and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A mousetail for my thoughts, oh no, I'll trade 'em for a squirrel

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing

Funny, when you're dead how people start listen'n

If I die young, bury me in lavender

Lay me down on a nest 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 pelt

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

The sharp claw of a short life oh

Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, toms,

And I'll wear my pearls
