[FATES]
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
[HERMES, spoken]
Eurydice was a hungry young girl
A runaway from everywhere she'd ever been
She was no stranger to the world
No stranger to the wind
[EURYDICE]
The weather ain't the way it was before
Ain't no spring or fall at all anymore
It's either blazing hot or freezing cold
Any way the wind blows
[CLOTHO, FATES]
And there ain't a thing that you can do
[LACHESIS, FATES]
When the weather takes a turn on you
[FATES]
'Cept for hurry up and hit the road
Any way the wind blows
Wind comes up
Ooooh…
[EURYDICE]
Do you hear that sound?
[FATES]
Wind comes up
Mooove…
[EURYDICE]
Move to another town
Ain't nobody gonna stick around
[EURYDICE and FATES]
When the dark clouds roll
Any way the wind blows
[HERMES, spoken]
You met The Fates
Remember them?
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Anybody got a match?
[HERMES, spoken]
Always singing in the back of your mind
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Gimme that
[HERMES, spoken]
Wherever it was this young girl went
The Fates were close behind
[EURYDICE]
People turn on you just like the wind
Everybody is a fair weather friend
In the end, you're better off alone
Any way the wind blows
[CLOTHO, FATES]
When your body aches to lay it down
When you're hungry
And there ain't enough to go round
[FATES]
Ain't no length to which a girl won't go
Any way the wind blows
Wind comes up
Ooooh…
[EURYDICE]
And sometimes you think
[FATES]
Wind comes up
Youuuu…
[EURYDICE]
You would do anything
Just to fill your belly full of food
Find a bed that you could fall into
Where the weather wouldn't follow you
[EURYDICE and FATES]
Wherever you go
Any way the wind blows
[HERMES, spoken]
Now Orpheus was the son of a Muse
And you know how those Muses are
(sung)
Sometimes they abandon you
(spoken)
And this poor boy
He wore his heart out on his sleeve
You might say he was naïve to the ways of the world
(sung)
But he had a way with words
And the rhythm and the rhyme
And he sang just like a bird up on a line
(spoken)
And it ain't because I'm kind
(sung)
But his Mama was a friend of mine
(spoken)
And I liked to hear him sing
(sung)
And his way of seeing things
(spoken)
So I took him underneath my wing
And that is where he stayed
Until one day...
