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

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

And there ain't a thing that you can do
When the weather takes a turn on you
'Cept for hurry up and hit the road
Any way the wind blows

(Wind comes up, ooh)
Do you hear that sound
(Wind comes up, move) to another town
Ain't nobody gonna stick around
When the dark clouds roll
Any way the wind blows

You met the Fates
Remember them (anybody got a match?)
Always singing in the back of your mind (gimme that)
Wherever it was, this young girl went
The fates were close behind

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

When your body aches to lay it down
When you're hungry and there ain't enough to go 'round
Ain't no length to which a girl won't go
Any way the wind blows

(Wind comes up ooh) and sometimes you think
(Wind comes up, 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
Wherever you go
Any way the wind blows

Now Orpheus was the son of a muse
And you know how those muses are
Sometimes they abandon you
And this poor boy
He wore his heart out on his sleeve
You might say he was naive to the ways of the world

But he had a way with words
And the rhythm and the rhyme
And he sang just like a bird up on a line
And it ain't because I'm kind

But his mama was a friend of mine
And I liked to hear him sing
And his way of seeing things
So I took him underneath my wing
And that is where he stayed
Until one day
