Text:
Orpheus:
Come home with me!
Eurydice:
Who are you?
Orpheus:
The man who’s gonna marry you. I’m Orpheus
Come home with me!
Eurydice:
Who am I?
Orpheus:
Eurydice
The girl who makes me wanna sing
The woman who I’m marrying
Eurydice:
A singer! is that what you are?
Orpheus:
Well, I also play the lyre
Eurydice:
Oh, a liar! and a player too?
I’ve met too many men like you
Orpheus:
I’m not like any man you’ve met
Eurydice:
Oh yeah? what makes you different?
Orpheus:
You see the world?
Eurydice:
Of course I do
Orpheus:
I’ll make it beautiful for you. for you I’ll change the way it is
Eurydice:
With what?
Orpheus:
Holds up guitar
With this!
Eurydice:
I’m sure you play it well, but only the gods can change the world. Me and you can’t change a thing
Orpheus:
You haven’t heard me sing
Eurydice:
Are you always this confident?
Orpheus:
When I look at you I am
Eurydice:
When you look at me, what do you see?
Orpheus:
Someone stronger than me, somebody who survives
Eurydice:
So why should I become your wife?
Orpheus:
Because I make you feel alive
Eurydice:
That’s worth a lot…
What else you got?
