[ODYSSEUS breathes out]

[ODYSSEUS]

Penelope

[ODYSSEUS opens the bedroom door]

[PENELOPE]

Is it you? Have my prayers been answered?

Is it really you standing there, or am I dreaming once more?

You look different, your eyes look tired

Your frame is lighter, your smile torn

Is it really you, my love?

[ODYSSEUS]

I am not the man you fell in love with

I am not the man you once adored

I am not your kind and gentle husband

And I am not the love you knew before

Would you fall in love with me again

If you knew all I've done?

The things I cannot change

Would you love me all the same?

I know that you've been waiting, waiting for love

[PENELOPE]

What kinds of things did you do?

[ODYSSEUS]

Left a trail of red on every island

As I traded friends like objects I could use

Hurt more lives than I can count on my hands

But all of that was to bring me back to you

So tell me

Would you fall in love with me again

If you knew all I've done?

The things I can't undo

I am not the man you knew

I know that you've been waiting, waiting

[PENELOPE]

If that's true, could you do me a favor?

Just a moment of labor that would bring me some peace

See that wedding bed? Could you carry it over?

Lift it high on your shoulders and take it far away from here

[ODYSSEUS]

How could you say this?

I had built that wedding bed with my blood and sweat

Carved it into the olive tree where we first met

A symbol of our love everlasting

Do you realize what you have asked me?

The only way to move it is to cut it from its roots

[PENELOPE]

Only my husband knew that

So I guess that makes him you

[ODYSSEUS]

Penelope

[PENELOPE]

I will fall in love with you over and over again

I don't care how, where, or when

No matter how long it's been, you're mine

Don't tell me you're not the same person

You're always my husband and I've been waiting, waiting

[ODYSSEUS]

Penelope

[PENELOPE, ODYSSEUS]

Waiting, waiting (Penelope)

Waiting, waiting

Waiting, oh

For you

[Instrumental Break]

[PENELOPE]

How long has it been?

[ODYSSEUS]

Twenty years

[PENELOPE, PENELOPE & ODYSSEUS]

I-I love you
