"A Gathering Storm" lyrics - ANAIS MITCHELL

[FATES]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[HERMES, spoken]
With Persephone gone, the cold came on

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
He came too soon
He came for her too soon
It's not supposed to be like this

[EURYDICE]

[Spoken:]
Well

[Sung:]
'Til someone brings the world back into tune

[Spoken:]
This is how it is

[HERMES, spoken]
Orpheus had a gift to give

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Hey, where are you going?

[HERMES, spoken]
Touched by the gods is what he was

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I have to finish the song

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Finish it quick
The wind is changing
There's a storm coming on

[FATES]
Wind comes up, ooh

[EURYDICE, spoken]
We need food!

[FATES]
Wind comes up, ooh

[EURYDICE, spoken]
We need firewood

[HERMES]
Orpheus and Eurydice

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Did you hear me? Orpheus?

[HERMES]
Poor boy workin' on a song

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Orpheus!

[HERMES]
Young girl looking for something to eat

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Okay, finish it

[HERMES, spoken]
Under a gathering storm
