Lyrics Wait for Me (Reprise) - André De Shields & Hadestown Original Broadway Company

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

Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming too

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

Think they'll make it?

I don't know

Hades, you let them go

I let them try

Then how 'bout you and I?
Are we gonna try again?

It's time for spring
We'll try again next fall

Wait for me?

I will

Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming too

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 got a lonesome road to walk
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

Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait, I'm coming
Show her the way

I'm coming wait for me
I hear the walls repeating
The falling of our feet and
It soundslike drumming
And we are not alone
I hear the rocks and stones
Echoing our song
I'm coming
