Come Home With Me

[HERMES, spoken]
You wanna talk to her?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes!

[HERMES, spoken]
Go on
Orpheus?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes?

[HERMES, spoken]
Don't come on too strong.

[ORPHEUS]
Come home with me.

[EURYDICE]
Who are you?

[ORPHEUS and Chorus]
The man who's gonna marry you
I'm Orpheus.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Is he always like this?

[HERMES, spoken]
Yes.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
I'm Eurydice.

[ORPHEUS and Chorus]
Your name is like a melody.

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

[ORPHEUS]
I also play the lyre…

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Oh, a liar, AND a player too!
I've met too many men like you.

[ORPHEUS]
Oh, no, I'm not like that.

[HERMES, spoken]
He's not like any man you've met
Tell her what you're workin' on.

[ORPHEUS]
I'm workin' on a song…

[ORPHEUS and WORKERS]
It isn't finished yet
But when it's done and when I sing it
Spring will come again.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Come again?

[ORPHEUS]
Spring will come.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
When? I haven't seen a spring or fall since…
I can't recall.

[ORPHEUS]
That's what I'm workin' on.

[ORPHEUS and WORKERS]
A song to fix what's wrong
Take what's broken, make it whole
A song so beautiful
It brings the world back into tune
Back into time
And all the flowers will bloom.

[ORPHEUS]
Will you become my wife?

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Oh, he's crazy. Why would I become his wife?

[HERMES, spoken]
Maybe because he'll make you feel alive.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Alive? That's worth a lot
What else ya got?
