Hadestown - Road to Hell II Lyrics |
2016 stage musical adaptation of a folk opera by Anaïs Mitchell HADESTOWN the Musical - Road to Hell II Lyrics
HERMES (mumbles and sighs) Alright, alright It’s an old song It’s an old tale from way back when It’s an old song And we’re gonna sing it again and again
We’re gonna sing it again
There was a railroad line on a road to Hell There was a young man down on bended knee And that is the ending of the tale Of Orpheus and Eurydice
It’s a sad song It’s a sad tale, it’s a tragedy It’s a sad song But we sing it anyway
(sighs and spoken) Cause, here’s the thing To know how it ends And still begin to sing it again As if it might turn out this time I learned that from a friend of mine
See, Orpheus was a poor boy But he had a gift to give: He could make you see how the world could be, In spite of the way that it is
Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it like a train? Is it coming? Is it coming this a-way?
(sung) On a sunny day there was a railroad car And a lady stepping off a train Everybody looked and everybody saw That spring had come again
With a love song With a tale of a love that never dies With a love song For anyone who tries.
