Lyrics
[PERSEPHONE]
Pour the wine and raise a cup
Drink up, brothers, you know how
And spill a drop for Orpheus
Wherever he is now.
[PERSEPHONE and EURYDICE]
Some birds sing when the sun shines bright
Our praise is not for them.
[PERSEPHONE]
But the ones who sing in the dead of night
We raise our cups to them.
[PERSEPHONE and EURYDICE]
Wherever he is wandering
Alone upon the earth
Let all our singing follow him.
[PERSEPHONE]
And bring him comfort.
[COMPANY, PERSEPHONE and EURYDICE]
Some flowers bloom
Where the green grass grows
Our praise is not for them
But the ones who bloom in the bitter snow
We raise our cups to them.
[COMPANY]
We raise our cups and drink them up.
[PERSEPHONE]
We raise 'em high and drink 'em dry.
[COMPANY]
To Orpheus and all of us.
[PERSEPHONE]
Goodnight, brothers, goodnight.
