Hadestown Original Broadway Company, Anaïs Mitchell, Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Eva Noblezada, Kimberly Marable, Ahmad Simmons, Afra Hines, Timothy Hughes and John Krause - Come Home With Me

You wanna talk to her?
Yes!
Go on
Orpheus?
Yes?
Don't come on too strong

Come home with me
Who are you?
The man who's gonna marry you
I'm Orpheus

Is he always like this?
Yes
I'm Eurydice
Your name is like a melody
A singer, is that what you are?

I also play the lyre
Oh, a liar, and a player too!
I've met too many men like you
Oh, no, I'm not like that

He's not like any man you've met
Tell her what you're workin' on

I'm workin' on a song
It isn't finished yet
But when it's done and when I sing it
Spring will come again
Come again?
Spring will come

When? I haven't seen a spring or fall since
I can't recall
That's what I'm workin' on
A song to fix what's wrong
Take what's broken, make it whole
A song so beautiful
It brings the world back into tune
Back into time
And all the flowers will bloom

When you become my wife
Oh, he's crazy
Why would I become his wife?
Maybe because he'll make you feel alive

Alive? That's worth a lot
What else you got?
