Lyrics Hadestown Cast – Come Home With Me II
Text:
Orpheus:
Come home with me!
Eurydice:
It’s you!
Orpheus:
It’s me
Eurydice:
Orpheus!
Orpheus:
Eurydice. Please, come home
I’m not going back alone
Eurydice:
But how’d you get here? On the train?
Orpheus:
Nah, I walked
I walked and sang
Eurydice:
But how’d you get beyond the wall?
Orpheus:
I sang a song so beautiful the stones wept and they let me in
And I can sing us home again
Eurydice:
No, you can’t
Orpheus:
Yes I can
Eurydice:
Are you always this confident?
Orpheus:
When I look at you I am
Eurydice:
Orpheus:
I see someone stronger than me, I see somebody who survives
…I see my wife
Eurydice:
Why are you getting on your knees?
Orpheus:
I’m asking you to marry me. Marry me. Say «I do»
I came all this way to ask you to
Eurydice:
Orpheus…
Orpheus:
Eurydice
Eurydice:
The two of us, you and me
That is how it would have been, if the world was different
But have you seen the world?
It isn’t beautiful! It doesn’t change for me and you, no matter how much we want it to!
Fates:
Can’t you see she made a deal?
Gave her word, took a vow
See, it’s all been signed and sealed
She belongs to Hades now
She belongs to him
Orpheus:
That isn’t true
Fates:
She belongs to him
Orpheus:
It isn’t true
Fates:
She belongs to him
Orpheus:
Say it isn’t true!
Fates:
She belongs to him
Eurydice:
I do
