Brokedown Palace Lyrics by Richard Reed Parry, Caroline Shaw, Little Scream

Day of the Dead

2016

[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
