Hadestown watches Hadestown!

Wait For Me (Reprise)

So as we're near the end, updates will be slower. I want to work on a few chapters of my DEH book and focus on my other ones. I also haven't been in the best place mentally so updates will take longer. 

[HERMES, spoken]
The meanest dog you'll ever meet
He ain't the hound dog in the street
He bares some teeth and tears some 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

"I've never actually thought about it like that." Eurydice said. 

[ORPHEUS and EURYDICE]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too

[COMPANY]
Show the way so we can see
Show the way the world could be
If you can do it, so can she
If she can do it, so can we
Show the way
Show the way the world could be
Show the way so we believe
We will follow where you lead
We will follow with you
Show the way

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Think they'll make it?

[HADES, spoken]
I don't know

"I hope so." Hermes said. The Fates looked elsewhere while Elizabeth cringed from where she was doing homework. 

[COMPANY]
Show the way

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Hades, you let them go

[COMPANY]
Show the way

[HADES, spoken]
I let them try

"Do or do not, there is no try." Elizabeth quoted. 

"What?" Hades asked. 

"Oh, right. You guys don't know what Star Wars is, never mind." Elizabeth said. 

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
And how 'bout you and I?

[COMPANY]
Show the way

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Are we gonna try again?

[COMPANY]
Show the way

[HADES, spoken]
It's time for spring
We'll try again next fall

Hades and Persephone were glad that they were trying to fix things, only hoping that the things would stay fixed. 

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Wait for me?

[HADES, spoken]
I will

[COMPANY]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too

[FATES]
Who are you?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you?
Who are you to lead her?
Who are you to lead them?
Who are you to think that you can hold your head up higher than your fellow man?

"You can do it." Eurydice said. Orpheus smiled at her. 

[HERMES, spoken]
You got a lonesome road to walk
And it ain't along the railroad track
And 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
Likewise, the road to ruin

"They really are the same thing." Persephone said, thinking of her marriage. 

[COMPANY]
Wait for me, I'm comin' (I'm comin')
(I'm comin') Wait, I'm comin' with you
(I'm comin') Wait for me, I'm comin' too (Wait, I'm comin')
(Wait) Wait for me, I'm comin' (I'm comin')
(I'm comin') Wait, I'm comin' with you
(I'm comin') Wait, I'm comin'

"This next verse literally describes my sexuality." Elizabeth said, to which no one questioned her. It was Ancient Greece for the gods sake. 

[EURYDICE & COMPANY ]
I'm coming wait for me (Show the way)
I hear the walls repeating (Show the way)
The falling of our feet and
It sounds like drumming (Show the way)
And we are not alone (Show, show the way)
I hear the rocks and stones (Show, show the way)
Echoing our song (Echoing our song)
I'm coming (Coming, coming)

"You guys may want to prepare yourself." Elizabeth said solemnly, leaving everyone except the Fates confused.
