Come Home With Me Lyrics by Melanie La Barrie, Dónal Finn (actor), Grace Hodgett Young, Original West End Company of Hadestown

Hadestown: Live From London

2024

[HERMES, spoken]
Now, Orpheus was the son of a Muse
And you know how those Muses are
(sung)
Sometimes they abandon you
(spoken)
And this poor boy, he wore his heart out on his sleeve
You might say he was naive to the ways of the world
(sung)
But he had way with words
And a rhythm and a rhyme
And he sang just like a bird up on a line
And it end because I'm kind
But his mama was a friend of mine
And I like to hear him sing
And his way of seeing things
(spoken)
So I took him underneath my wing
And that is where he stayed
Until one day
You want to talk to her?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes!
[HERMES, spoken]
Go on
Orpheus?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes?
[HERMES, spoken]
Don't come on too strong
[ORPHEUS]
Come home with me
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Who are you?
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
The man who's gonna marry you
I'm Orpheus
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Is he always like this?
[HERMES, spoken]
Yes
[EURYDICE, spoken]
I'm Eurydice
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
Your name is like a melody
[EURYDICE, spoken]
A singer, is that what you are?
[ORPHEUS]
I also play the lyre
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Oh, a liar, and a player too
I've met too many men like you
[ORPHEUS]
Oh, no
I'm not like that
[HERMES, spoken]
He's not like any man you've met
Tell her what you're workin' on
[ORPHEUS]
I'm workin' on a song
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
It isn't finished yet
But when it's done and when I sing it
Spring will come again
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Come again?
[ORPHEUS]
Spring will come
[EURYDICE, spoken]
When? I haven't seen a spring or fall since
I can't recall
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
That's what I'm workin' on
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
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
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
When you become my wife
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Woah, he's crazy
Why would I become his wife?
[HERMES, spoken]
Maybe because he'll make you feel alive
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Alive? That's worth a lot
What else ya got?
