hadestown original broadway cast - promises lyrics
[eurydice, spoken]
orpheus?
[orpheus, spoken]
yes?
[eurydice, spoken]
you finished it
[orpheus, spoken]
yes! now what do i do?
[eurydice, spoken]
you take me home with you!
let’s go, let’s go right now!
[orpheus, spoken]
okay, let’s go…
how?
[eurydice, spoken]
we’ll walk, you know the way!
we’ll just go back the way you come
[orpheus]
it’s a long road
it’s a long walk
back into the cold and dark
are you sure you wanna go?
[eurydice, spoken]
take me home
[orpheus]
i have no ring for your finger
i have no banquet table to lay
i have no bed of feathers
whatever promises i made
i can’t promise you fair sky above
can’t promise you kind road below
but i’ll walk beside you, love
any way the wind blows
[eurydice]
i don’t need gold, don’t need silver
just bread when i’m hungry
fire when i’m cold
don’t need a ring for my finger
just need a steady hand to hold
don’t promise me fair sky above
don’t promise me kind road below
just walk beside me, love
any way the wind blows
[orpheus, spoken]
what about him?
[eurydice, spoken]
he’ll let us go, look at him
he can’t say no
[orpheus, spoken]
what about them?
[eurydice, spoken]
we’ll show the way
if we can do it, so can they
[orpheus and eurydice]
i don’t know where this road will end
but i’ll walk it with you, hand in hand
i can’t promise you fair sky above
can’t promise you kind road below
but i’ll walk beside you, love
any way the wind blows
[orpheus]
do you let me walk with you?
[eurydice]
i do
[orpheus]
i do
[orpheus and eurydice]
i do
[eurydice]
and keep on walking, come what will?
[orpheus]
i will
[eurydice]
i will
[orpheus and eurydice]
we will
