Текст песни Road to Hell (Reprise) - André De Shields & Hadestown Original Broadway Company

A'ight
It's an old song
It's an old tale from way back when
It's an old song
And that is how it ends
That's how it goes

Don't ask why, brother, don't ask how
He could have come so close
The song was written long ago
And that is how it goes

It's a sad song
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a sad song
But we sing it anyway

Cause here's the thing
To know how it ends
And still begin to sing it again
As if it might turn out this time
I learned that from a friend of mine

See, Orpheus was a poor boy

Anybody got a match?

But he had a gift to give

Gimme that

He could make you see how the world could be
In spite of the way that it is
Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it like a train?
Is it coming?
Is it coming this way?

On a sunny day, there was a railroad car
And a lady steppin' off a train
Everybody looked and everybody saw
That spring had come again

With a love song

With a love song

With a love song

With a tale of a love from long ago

It's a sad song

It's a sad song

But we keep singin' even so
It's an old song

It's an old song

It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it again and again
We're gonna sing, we're gonna sing

It's a love song
It's a tale of a love from long again
It's a sad song
We keep singing even so
It's an old song
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it again and again
