sink me in the river at dawn,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

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 life 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.

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 my forever,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 your best boys and I'll wearing my pearls, what I never did is done

a penny for my thoughts oh no I'll send them for a dollar.
