Wait for Me

Lyrics

How to get to Hadestown
 Ya have to take the long way down
 Through the underground, under cover of night
 Layin' low, stayin' out of sight
 Ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map
 Just a telephone wire, and a railroad track
 Keep on walkin', and don't look back
 'Til you get to the Bottom land
 Wait for me, I'm comin'
 Wait, I'm comin' with you
 Wait for me, I'm comin' 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 comin'
 Wait, I'm comin' with you
 Wait for me, I'm comin' 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 ever walked before?
 ♪
 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 for me, I'm coming too (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 stones
 (Wait) echoing my song
 I'm coming (coming)
