Lyrics Wait for Me - Kimberly Marable feat. Khaila Wilcoxon, Ahmad Simmons, Afra Hines, T. Oliver Reid, John Krause, André De Shields, Reeve Carney, Jewelle Blackman, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer, Kay Trinidad, Timothy Hughes, Malcolm Armwood & Jessie Shelton
How
to
get
to
Hadestown:
You'll
have
to
take
the
long
way
down
Through
the
underground,
under
cover
of
night
Laying
low,
staying
out
of
sight
There
ain't
no
compass,
brother,
ain't
no
map
Just
a
telephone
wire
and
the
railroad
track
You
keep
on
walking
and
you
don't
look
back
'Til
you
get
to
the
bottomland
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
Wait,
I'm
coming
with
you
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
too
I'm
coming
too
The
River
Styx
is
high
and
wide
Cinder
bricks
and
razor
wire
Walls
of
iron
and
concrete
Hound
dogs
howling
'round
the
gate
Those
dogs'll
lay
down
and
play
dead
If
you
got
the
bones,
if
you
got
the
bread
But
if
all
you
got
is
your
own
two
legs
Just
be
glad
you
got
'em
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?
Where
do
you
think
you're
going?
Who
are
you?
{FATE]
Why
are
you
all
alone?
Who
do
you-
-Think
you
are?
Who
are
you-
{FATE]
-To
think
that
you
can
walk
a
road
that
no
one
ever
walked
before?
{OPHEUS]

(The
COMPANY
begins
to
echo
and
do
rounds)
La

(HERMES
cuts
them
off)
You're
on
the
lam,
you're
on
the
run
Don't
give
your
name,
you
don't
have
one
And
don't
look
no
one
in
the
eye
That
town'll
try
to
suck
you
dry
They'll
suck
your
brain,
they'll
suck
your
breath
They'll
pluck
the
heart
right
out
your
chest
They'll
truss
you
up
in
your
Sunday
best
And
stuff
your
mouth
with
cotton
Wait
for
me,
(I'm
coming!)
I'm
coming
(I'm
coming)
Wait,
I'm
coming
with
you
(I'm
coming)
Wait
(Wait
I'm
coming)
for
me,
I'm
coming
too
I'm
coming!
Wait!
I'm
coming
wait
for
me
Wait!
I
hear
the
walls
repeating
Wait!
The
falling
of
my
feet
and
It
sounds
like
drumming
Wait!
And
I
am
not
alone
Wait!
I
hear
the
rocks
and
stone
Wait!
Echoing
my
song
I'm
coming!
Coming...
Coming...
