Brokedown Palace Lyrics

Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone

Gonna leave this broken-down palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll

In a bed, in a bed by the waterside, I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It′s a far-gone lullaby sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home

Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

I′m gonna plant a weeping willow
By the bank's green edge, it will grow, grow, grow
Singing a lullaby beside the water (ooh-ooh)
Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll (ooh-ooh)

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

Good night
