Any Way the Wind Blows lyrics

[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...
