(Penelope) waiting, waiting (Penelope)
20 years
A symbol of our love everlasting
And I am not the love you knew before
As I traded friends like objects I could use
But all of that was to bring me back to you
Carved it into the olive tree where we first met
Do you realize what you have asked me?
Don't tell me you're not the same person
For you
Have my prayers been answered?
How could you say this?
How long has it been?
Hurt more lives than I can count on my hands
I am not the man you fell in love with
I am not the man you knew
I am not the man you once adored
I am not your kind and gentle husband
I don't care how, where, or when
I had built that wedding bed with my blood and sweat
I know that you've been waiting, waiting
I know that you've been waiting, waiting for love
I love you
I will fall in love with you over and over again
If that's true, could you do me a favor?
If you knew all I've done? [1]
If you knew all I've done? [2]
Is it really you standing there, or am I dreaming once more?
Is it really you, my love?
Is it you?
Just a moment of labor that would bring me some peace
Left a trail of red on every island
Lift it high on your shoulders and take it far away from here
No matter how long it's been, you're mine
Only my husband knew that
Penelope [1]
Penelope [2]
See that wedding bed? Could you carry it over?
So I guess that makes him you
So tell me
The only way to move it is to cut it from its roots
The things I can't undo
The things I cannot change
Waiting, oh
Waiting, waiting
What kinds of things did you do?
Would you fall in love with me again [1]
Would you fall in love with me again [2]
Would you love me all the same?
You look different, your eyes look tired
You're always my husband, and I've been waiting, waiting, waiting
Your frame is lighter, your smile torn
Also, I just realised this is the final song of the series. No more Lyric sorts, I guess. Makes me almost as sad as after I listened to WYFILWMA for the first time. This has been an amazing series, and I hope you continue making quizzes, Cypress. I've even contemplated doing the same thing for another musical that I listen to way too often (no such thing).
Again, thank you so much for making this series for all the nerds like me who love EPIC: The Musical.
