Promises lyrics

[EURYDICE, spoken]

Orpheus?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]

Yes?

[EURYDICE, spoken]

You finished it

[ORPHEUS, spoken]

Yes! Now what do I do?

[EURYDICE, spoken]

You 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 come

[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 and 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]

Do you let me walk with you?

[EURYDICE]

I do

[ORPHEUS]

I do

[ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE]

I do

[EURYDICE]

And keep on walking, come what will?

[ORPHEUS]

I will

[EURYDICE]

I will

[ORPHEUS and EURYDICE]

We will
