Paroles Brokedown palace Joan Osborne

Brokedown palace

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

going to leave this brokedown 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 i sang many years ago
mamma mamma many worlds are 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

going to plant a weeping willow
on the banks clean edge
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
