Promises Lyrics by Dónal Finn (actor), Grace Hodgett Young

Hadestown: Live From London

2022

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Orpheus?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes?

[EURYDICE, spoken]
You finished it

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes, now?

[EURYDICE, spoken]
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 came

[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]
What about them?

[EURYDICE, spoken]
We’ll show the way
If we can do it, so can they

[ORPHEUS & 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]
And do you let me walk with you?

[EURYDICE]
I do

[ORPHEUS]
I do

[ORPHEUS & EURYDICE]
I do

[EURYDICE]
And keep on walking, come what will?

[ORPHEUS]
I will

[EURYDICE]
I will

[ORPHEUS & EURYDICE]
We will
