"Jenny Of Oldstones (Game Of Thrones)" lyrics

"Jenny Of Oldstones (Game Of Thrones)"

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 couldn't 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 then 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

Florence + The Machine is a fan of the TV series. It turned out she is the last performer to contribute a song to the show. She said about the music written by Ramin Djawadi, "The notes of sounded like a Celtic folk song to me. I thought it was really beautiful. I love the idea of dancing with ghosts and never wanting to leave. That totally makes sense to me. I feel like I do that every night on stage."
The creators of the "Game of Thrones" expressed their feeling about having Florence + The Machine's song, "We've always been huge fans of Florence's music. So the opportunity to hear her otherworldly voice on our show was always at the forefront of our minds. We're still pleasantly shocked that she agreed to sing 'Jenny of Oldstones', and we're in love with the result."
"Jenny Of Oldstones" is heard in the second episode of the series' eighth season, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms". Character Podrick Payne performs it in the episode. Florence + The Machine's version is played during the end credits.
