Wait for Me
Wait for Me
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
Them 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
You best 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?
Why are you all alone?
Who do you
Think you are?
Who are you
To think that you can walk a road
That no one's ever walked before?
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
La la la la la la la
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
(La la)
La la la la la la la
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 will 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)
Wait, I'm coming with you, (I'm coming)
Wait for me, I'm coming too, (wait, I'm coming too)
I'm coming, wait
(Wait) I'm coming, wait for me
(Wait) I hear the walls repeatin'
(Wait) The fallin' of my feet and
(Wait) It sounds like drummin'
(Wait) And I am not alone
(Wait) I hear the rocks and stones
(Wait) Echoin' my song
I'm coming, (coming)
(Coming)
(Coming)
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

'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

You best 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?
Why are you all alone?
Who do you
Think you are?
Who are you
