Road to Hell (Reprise)

Road to Hell (Reprise) - André De Shields/Hadestown Original Broadway Company

Lyrics by：Anaïs Mitchell

A'ight

It's an old song

It's an old tale from way back when

It's an old song

And that is how it ends

That's how it goes

Don't ask why brother don't ask how

He could have come so close

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

See Orpheus was a poor boy

Anybody got a match

But he had a gift to give

Gimme that

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 steppin' off a train

Everybody looked and everybody saw

That spring had come again

With a love song

With a love song

With a love song

With a tale of a love from long ago

It's a sad song

It's a sad song

But we keep singin' even so

It's an old song

It's an old song

It's an old song

It's an old tale from way back when

And we're gonna sing it again and again

We're gonna sing we're gonna sing

It's a love song

It's a tale of a love from long again

It's a sad song

It's an sad song

We keep singing even so

It's an old song

It's an old tale from way back when

And we're gonna sing it again and again

We're gonna sing it again
