Jenny of Oldstones - A Game of Thrones Cover by Hildegard von Blingin’
Jenny of Oldstones - Composed by Ramin Djawadi and originally performed by Florence the Machine
Good day! I realize it’s rather late to be posting Game of Thrones content so long after finale, but this song is so gorgeous, and I’ve always wanted to sing it.
I’m working on several new Bardcore covers, but I’m also keen to sing some songs from various TV shows and Games. If you have any particular requests, feel free to comment below.

Lyrics:
High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most
The ones who’d been gone for so very long
She could not remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
They danced through the day and into the night
Through the snow that swept through the hall
From winter to summer and winter again
’Til the walls did crumble and fall
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most
