Joan Osborne Brokedown Palace Lyrics

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



Going to leave this brokedown palace

On my hand 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



Goin' home, goin' 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
