don't know why
there's no sun up in the sky
stormy weather
since my gal and i ain't together
keeps drinking 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
every time
so weary all of the time
when she went away
the blues walked in and then they met me
if she stays away
that old rocking chair's bound to get me
all i do is pray
the lord above will let me
just walk in that sun again
can't go on
everything i had is gone
stormy weather
since my gal and i ain't together
keeps drinking all the time
keeps drinking all of the time

Magnum'un insanin icini titreten ve gecenin sessizliginde dinlendiginde Bob Catley'nin vokallerinin icinizi parcaladigi sarkisi..

The rain beats on my window,
And the rain light up the dark,
It starts the shadows chasing,
And the dogs on the run begin to bark.

The church bell's strikning midnight,
And the lights have all gone down,
The sea's as dark as thunder,
And I feel like a wanted man on sacred ground.

Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away,
But there's nothing I can do.

Chorus
Passing ships into the night,
We can't stay together,
I won't win but I can fight,
Looks like we're in for stormy weather.

There's a fog down on the beach,
It rolls on forever,
You get further out of reach,
Looks like we're in for stormy weather.

Tall lights on the highway,
They disappear from view,
There's no-one coming my way,
Now I've lost it all it seems I'm losing you.

ilk defa ethel waters tarafından seslendirilmiş 1933 tarihli efsane parça. şahsımca lena horne versiyonu da gayet başarılıdır.
