things in hadestown that make me emotional
it’s a love song. it’s a tale of a love that never dies, it’s a love song about someone who tries
let the world we dream about be the one we live in now
wait for me, I’m coming too, I’m coming too
kind of makes you wonder how it feels
i’ll sing a song of a love gone wrong
promises you made to me, you said the rivers and the trees would fill our pockets and our plates
orpheus, the undersigned shall not turn to look behind. she’s out of sight, and he’s out of his mind
she went behind those doors and signed her life away
wherever she is, is where i’ll go
but all alone his blood runs thin, and doubt comes… doubt comes in
there was a railroad line on the road to hell, there was a young man down on bended knee
I have no ring for your finger, I have no banquet table laid, I have no bed of feathers. whatever promises I’ve made
orpheus, all the pretty songs you sing ain’t gonna shelter us from the wind, the wind, the wind
every coward seems courageous in the safety of the crowd
then hades told eurydice: there are papers to be signed. step into my office
orpheus, you’re shivering. is it cold or fear? just keep singing, the coldest night, of the coldest year, comes right before the spring
make me laugh, make me weep, make the king feel young again. sing! for an old man
see, orpheus was a poor boy but he had a gift to give: he could make you see how the world could be, in spite of the way that it is
and hades laid his hands on you and gave you everlasting life!
she called your name before she went, but I guess you weren’t listening
where are you now, orpheus?
men are fools, men are frail, give them the rope and they’ll hang themselves
doubt comes in and all falls silent, it’s as though you aren’t there
king of diamonds, king of spades, hades was king of a kingdom of dirt
young man, you can strum your lyre, I have strung the world in wire
now everybody knows the walls have ears, and the walls had heard what the boy was saying, a million tons of stone and steel echoed his refrain
i’m gonna hold you forever, the wind will never change on us, as long as we stay with each other, then it will always be like this
to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again as if it might turn out this time, I learned that from a friend of mine
on a sunny day there was a railroad car, and a lady stepping off a train. everybody looked and everybody saw that spring had come again
“you’re early!” “i missed you.”
is it true? is it true, what he said?
you see, they kept their heads down low, you couldn’t quite see their faces right, oh but you could hear them singing
with his kiss, the riot starts
orpheus, my heart is yours
where is the treasure inside your chest?
“it’s almost spring. we’ll try again next fall” “wait for me?” “I will”
with a love song, with a tale of a love that never dies. with a love song, for anyone who tries
