Ani Difranco - I Raise My Cup to Him lyrics

[EURYDICE:] Pour the wine and raise a cup Drink up, brothers, you know how And spill a drop for Orpheus Wherever he is now [PERSEPHONE:] Some birds sing when the sun shines bright My praise is not for them But the one who sings in the dead of night I raise my cup to him [EURYDICE:] Wherever he is wandering Alone upon the earth Let all our singing follow him And bring him comfort Some flowers bloom when the green gra** grows My praise is not for them But the one who blooms in the bitter snow I raise my cup to him [PERSEPHONE:] I raise my cup and drink it up [EURYDICE:] I raise it high and drink it dry [PERSEPHONE:] To Orpheus and all of us Goodnight, brothers, goodnight
