The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Hermes]
The meanest dog you'll ever meet
He ain't the hound dog in the street
He bares some teeth and tears some skin
But brother, that's the worst of him
The dog you really got to dread
Is the one that howls inside your head
It's him whose howling drives men mad
And a mind to its undoing
[Orpheus and Eurydice]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too
[Company]
Show the way so we can see
Show the way the world could be
If you can do it, so can she
If she can do it, so can we
Show the way
Show the way the world could be
Show the way so we believe
We will follow where you lead
We will follow with you
Show the way
[Persephone]
Think they'll make it?
[Hades]
I don't know
[Company]
Show her the way
[Persephone]
Hades, you let them go
[Company]
Show her the way
[Hades]
I let them try
[Persephone]
And how 'bout you and I?
[Company]
Show her the way
[Persephone]
Are we gonna try again?
[Company]
Show her the way
[Hades]
It's time for spring
We'll try again next fall
[Persephone]
Wait for me?
[Hades]
I will
[Company]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too
[Fates]
Who are you?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you?
Who are you to lead her?
Who are you to lead them?
Who are you to think that you can hold your head up higher than your fellow man?
[Hermes]
You got a lonesome road to walk
And it ain't along the railroad track
And it ain't along the black-top tar
You've walked a hundred times before
I'll tell you where the real road lies
Between your ears, behind your eyes
That is the path to Paradise
Likewise, the road to ruin
[Company]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait, I'm comin'
Show her the way
[Eurydice]
I'm coming wait for me
[Company]
Show her the way
[Eurydice]
I hear the walls repeating
[Company]
Show her the way
[Eurydice]
The falling of our feet and
It sounds like drumming
[Company]
Show her the way
[Eurydice and Company]
And we are not alone show
Show her the way
I hear the rocks and stones show
Show her the way
Echoing our song echoing our song
I'm coming
Coming
Coming
