How Long? (Non-Album Track) Original Cast of Hadestown (Ft. Amber Gray & Patrick Page)

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
How long have we been married?

[HADES, spoken]
Since the world began

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
I don't mind if you look at other girls... now and then

[HADES, spoken]
The girl means nothing to me.

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
I know. But she means everything to him

[HADES, spoken]
So?

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Let her go

(sung)
Hades, my husband
Hades, my light
Hades, my darkness
If you had heard how he sang tonight
You’d pity poor Orpheus!
All of his sorrow won’t fit in his chest
It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest
And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest
How long, how long, how long?
