Hermes:
Alright
Alright...

It's an old song
It's an old sad tale
From way back when
It's an old song
And that is how it ends
That's how it goes
Don't know why, brother
Don't know how
He could have come so close
But 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

Company:
Mmm

Hermes:
See, Orpheus was a poor boy

Eurydice:
Anybody got a match?

Hermes:
But he had a gift to give

Eurydice:
Give me that

Hermes:
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 stepping off a train
Everybody looked and everybody saw
That Spring had come again

With a love song

Eurydice:
With a love song

Company:
With a love song

Hermes:
With a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song

Company:
It's a sad song

Persephone:
It's a sad song

Hermes:
But we keep singing even so
It's an old song

Eurydice:
It's an old song

Company:
It's an old song

Hermes:
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it

All:
Again and again

Hermes:
We're gonna sing it again
