"Wait For Me ("Hey, The Big Artiste...") [Intro]"
(performed by André De Shields & Reeve Carney)
(from "Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)


[Orpheus:]
Mr. Hermes!

[Hermes:]
Hey, the big artiste!
Ain't you working on your masterpiece?

[Orpheus:]
Where's Eurydice?

[Hermes:]
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find another muse somewhere

[Orpheus:]
Where is she?

[Hermes:]
Why you wanna know?

[Orpheus:]
Wherever she is, is where I'll go

[Hermes:]
And what if I said she's down below?

[Orpheus:]
Down below?

[Hermes:]
Down below
Six-feet-under-the-ground below
She called your name before she went
But I guess you weren't listening

[Orpheus:]
No...

[Hermes:]
So...
Just how far would you go for her?

[Orpheus:]
To the end of time
To the end of the earth

[Hermes:]
You got a ticket?

[Orpheus:]
No...?

[Hermes:]
Yeah, I didn't think so
Course there is another way
But nah, I ain't supposed to say

[Orpheus:]
Another way?

[Hermes:]
Around the back
But that ain't easy walkin', Jack
It ain't for the sensitive of soul
So do you really wanna go?

[Orpheus:]
With all my heart

[Hermes:]
With all your heart?
Well, that's a start
