Come Home With Me

Lyrics

[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?
