Lover, tell me if you can
Who's gonna buy the wedding bands
Times being what they are
Hard and getting harder all the time

ORPHEUS
Lover, when I sing my song
All the rivers'll sing along
And they're gonna break their banks for us
And with their gold, be generous
All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand
The river's gonna give us the wedding bands

EURYDICE
Lover, tell me if you're able
Who's gonna lay you the wedding table
Times being what they are
Dark and getting darker all the time

ORPHEUS
Lover, when I sing my song
All the trees gonna sing along
And they're gonna bend their branches down
To lay their fruit upon the ground
The almond and the apple
And the sugar from the maple
The trees gonna lay the wedding table

instrumental break

EURYDICE, spoken
So when you sing your song
The one you're working on
Spring will come again

ORPHEUS, spoken
Yes

EURYDICE, spoken
Why don't you sing it then

ORPHEUS
It isn't finished

EURYDICE, spoken
Sing it
You wanna take me home

ORPHEUS, spoken
Yes

EURYDICE, spoken
How'd you do that

ORPHEUS, spoken
I don't know
The song's not finished though

EURYDICE, spoken
Even so, it can do this

ORPHEUS, spoken
I know...

EURYDICE
spoken
You have to finish it
sung
Lover, tell me when we're wed
Who's gonna make the wedding bed
Times being what they are
Hard and getting harder all the time

ORPHEUS
Lover, when I sing my song
All the birds gonna sing along
And they'll come flying from all around
To lay their feathers on the ground
And we'll lie down in eiderdown
A pillow 'neath our heads
The birds gonna make the wedding bed

EURYDICE
And the trees gonna lay the wedding table

ORPHEUS
And the rivers gonna give us the wedding bands
