Brokedown Palace - Joan Osborne

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
