GRATEFUL DEAD - Brokedown Palace lyrics

rate me

Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.<br>All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone.<br><br>Going to leave this brokedown palace,<br>On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll.<br>Make myself a bed in the waterside,<br>In my time, I will roll, roll roll.<br><br>In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.<br>Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.<br><br>River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy,<br>Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.<br>It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.<br>Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.<br><br>Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones,<br>Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.<br><br>Going to plant a weeping willow,<br>On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow.<br>Sing a lullaby beside the water,<br>Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.<br><br>Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,<br>Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
