How Long? 歌詞

How Long? - Amber Gray/Patrick Page

Lyrics by:Anaïs Mitchell

 

What are you afraid of

 

What

 

He's just a boy in love

 

Have a drink why don't you

 

No I've had enough

 

He loves that girl Hades

Well that's too bad

 

He has the kind of love for her

 

That you and I once had

 

The girl means nothing to me

 

I know but she means everything to him

 

So

 

Let her go

 

Hades my husband Hades my light Hades my darkness

 

If you had heard how he sang tonight you'd pity poor Orpheus

 

All of the sorrow won't fit in his chest

It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest

And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest

 

How long

How long

How long

 

How long

 

Just as long as Hades is king

 

Nothing comes of wishing on stars

 

And nothing comes of the songs people sing

 

However sorry they are

 

Give them a piece they'll take it all

 

Show them a crack they'll tear down the wall

 

Lend them an ear and the kingdom will fall

 

The kingdom will fall for a song

 

What does he care for the logic of kings

 

The laws of your underworld

 

It is only for love that he sings

 

He sings for the love of a girl

You and your pity don't fit in my bed

You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed

And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed

How long

How long

How long

How long

Just as long as I am your wife

 

It's true the earth must die

 

But then the earth comes back to life

 

And the sun must go on rising

And how does the sun even fit in the sky

It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky

And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky

How long

How long

 

How long
