After lunch the 다음 day, Elena was cleaning the main living room on the first floor. She had already cleaned everything else and had just finished polishing the old 음악회, 콘서트 piano. She dropped her hands in weariness. Her hands came down on some of the keys, creating an unpleasant combination of notes. Elena flinched. Then, she got an idea. She glanced around to make sure no one would be able to hear.
She sat on the 피아노 bench and lightly placed her hand on the keys. Her fingers found the right notes automatically and she started to sing.
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, 침대 of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a 사랑 song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm 안전한, 안전 with 당신 when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what 당신 think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp 칼, 나이프 of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, 침대 of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a 사랑 song
The sharp 칼, 나이프 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 known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town who says he'll 사랑 me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp 칼, 나이프 of a short life, well,
I've had, just enough time
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 더 많이 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'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, 침대 of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a 사랑 song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a 비둘기 (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
The sharp 칼, 나이프 of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
Elena played the last few notes and jumped at the sound of applause. She turned around to see the Fowls standing in the doorway. Her face turned a deep scarlet.
“How long have 당신 been listening?” she asked, her voice barely audible.
“Almost the whole time,” replied Mrs. Fowl. Elena looked at the floor in embarrassment. She gather up the cleaning supplies and quickly exited the room. She didn’t speak to anyone until she announced that 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 was ready.
