Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin' All The Time)

Michael Ball · Other Songs - Michael Ball

Don't know why

There's no sun up in the sky

Stormy weather

Since my man and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time



Life is bare

Gloom and misery everywhere

Stormy weather

Just can't get my poor old self together

I'm weary all the time, the time

So weary all of the time



When he went away

The blues walked in and met me

If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me

All I do is pray

The lord above will let me

Walk in the sun once more



Can't go on

Everything I had is gone

Stormy weather

Since my man and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time

Keeps raining all of the time



I walk around,

Heavy-hearted and sad

Night comes around

And I'm still feeling bad

Rain pourin' down

Blinding every hope I had

This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad



Love, love, love, love

This misery will be the end of me



When he went away

The blues walked in and met me

If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me

All I do is pray

The lord above will let me

Walk in the sun once more



Can't go on

Everything I had is gone

Stormy weather

Since my man and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time, the time

Keeps raining all the time
