Come Home With Me Lyrics > Hadestown

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Come home with me!

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Who are you?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
The man who’s gonna marry you. I’m Orpheus.
Come home with me!

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Who am I?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Eurydice —

(sung)
— the girl who makes me wanna sing

(spoken)
The woman who I’m marrying.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
A singer! Is that what you are?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Well, I also play the lyre.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Oh, a liar! And a player too?
I’ve met too many men like you.

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I’m not like any man you’ve met.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Oh yeah? What makes you different?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
You see the world?

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Of course I do.

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I’ll make it beautiful for you. For you I’ll change the way it is.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
With what?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
(holds up guitar)
With this!

[EURYDICE, spoken]
I’m sure you play it well, but only the gods can change the world. Me and you can’t change a thing.

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
You haven’t heard me sing.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
(laughs)
Are you always this confident?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
When I look at you I am.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
When you look at me, what do you see?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Someone stronger than me, somebody who survives.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
So why should I become your wife?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Because I make you feel alive.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
That’s worth a lot...
What else you got?
