Lyrics
Orpheus?
Yes?
You finished it
Yes
Now what do I do?
You take me home with you
Let's go, let's go right now
Okay, let's go
How?
We'll walk, you know the way
We'll just go back the way you came
It's a long road
It's a long walk
Back into the cold and dark
Are you sure you wanna go?
Take me home

I have no ring for your finger
I have no banquet table to lay
I have no bed of feathers
Whatever promises I made
I can't promise you fair sky above
Can't promise you kind road below
But I'll walk beside you, love
Any way the wind blows

I don't need gold, don't need silver
Just bread when I'm hungry
Fire when I'm cold
Don't need a ring for my finger
Just need a steady hand to hold
Don't promise me fair sky above
Don't promise me kind road below
Just walk beside me, love
Any way the wind blows

What about him?
He'll let us go, look at him
He can't say no
What about them?
We'll show the way
If we can do it, so can they

I don't know where this road will end
But I'll walk it with you, hand in hand
I can't promise you fair sky above
Can't promise you kind road below
But I'll walk beside you, love
Any way the wind blows

Do you let me walk with you?
I do
I do
I do
And keep on walking, come what will?
I will
I will
We will
