Lyrics Brokedown Palace - Joan Osborne

Brokedown Palace

Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
I’m goin' to leave this broke-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, we sung it many years ago
Mama, Mama many worlds I’ve come since I first left home
Goin' home, goin' home
By the riverside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
I’m goin' to plant a weeping willow
On the bank’s green edge, and it will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go;
the river roll, roll, roll
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
