Garth Hudson - Brokedown Palace lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 broke-down palace On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll Make myself a bed in the waterside In my time, I will roll, roll roll [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home Its a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago Mama, mama many worlds Ive come since I first left home [Chorus] In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head Going home, going home, by the riverside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul [Verse 3] Going to plant a weeping willow On the banks green edge it will grow, grow, grow Sing a lullaby beside the water Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll [Chorus] In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head 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
