Hadestown Cast - Wait For Me II Lyrics

[Hermes:]
Meanest dog you'll ever meet
It ain't the hound dog in the street
He bares his teeth and tears your skin
But brother, that's the worst of him
The dog you really got to dread
Is the one that howls inside your head
It's him whose howling drives men mad
And a mind to its undoing

[Persephone:]
You think they'll make it?

[Hades:]
I don't know

[Persephone:]
Hades, you let them go

[Hades:]
I let them try

[Persephone:]
Then how 'bout you and I?
Are we gonna try again?

[Hades:]
It's almost spring
We'll try again next fall

[Persephone:]
Wait for me?

[Hades:]
I will

[Company:]
Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming too

[Hermes:]
You got a lonesome road to walk
It ain't along the railroad track
It ain't along the black-top tar
You've walked a hundred times before
I'll tell you where the real road lies
Between your ears, behind your eyes
That is the path to paradise
And, likewise, the road to ruin

[Company:]
Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming too
Wait, wait

[Eurydice:]
Wait
Wait...
