"All I've Ever Known ("In Spite Of Herself...") [Intro]" lyrics
(performed by André De Shields)
(from "Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
[Hermes:]
Orpheus was a poor boy,
But he had a gift to give.
He could make you see how the world could be:
In spite of the way that it is
And Eurydice was a young girl,
But she'd seen how the world was.
When she fell, she fell in spite of herself,
In love with Orpheus.
Orpheus was a poor boy,
But he had a gift to give.
He could make you see how the world could be:
In spite of the way that it is
And Eurydice was a young girl,
But she'd seen how the world was.
When she fell, she fell in spite of herself,
In love with Orpheus.
