[ Featuring Hadestown Original West End Cast ]
'Cause here's the thing
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
Company:
Mmmmm
Hermes:
See, Orpheus was a poor boy
Eurydice:
Anybody got a match?
Hermes:
But he had a gift to give
Eurydice:
Give me that
Hermes:
He could make you see how the world could be
In spite of the way that it is
Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Like a train
Is it coming?
Is it coming this way?
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
With a love song
Eurydice:
With a love song
Company:
With a love song
Hermes:
With a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song
Company:
It's a sad song
Persephone:
It's a sad song
Hermes:
But we keep singing even so
It's an old song
Eurydice:
It's an old song
Company:
It's an old song
Hermes:
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it
All:
Again and again
Hermes:
We're gonna sing
We're gonna sing
Company:
It's a love song
Eurydice:
It's a love song
Hermes:
It's a love song
Persephone:
It's a love song
Company:
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song
Eurydice:
It's a sad song
Hermes:
It's a sad song
Company:
But we keep singing even so
It's an old song
Eurydice:
It's an old song
Hermes:
It's an old old old tale
From way back when
And we're gonna sing it
All:
Again and again
Hermes:
We're gonna sing it again
