Brokendown Palace by Adrienne Young 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 knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
River going to take me, since 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 bank's edge it will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
You know lovers come and go, but 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
