Stormy Weather at 57 Mount Pleasant Street
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 and beating, spattering driving me mad; Love, love, love, love, the misery will be the end of me When he went away, the blues walked in and met me; Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time, the time Keeps raining all the time
BILLIE HOLIDAY
Now it's the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen, strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire couldn't conquer the blue sky
There's a small boat made of china, going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard or do I sing like a bird released
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go you always take the weather
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go you always take the weather,
Take the weather, the weather with you

(for this moment, of course--any bets on how long that lasts?)
but this song doesn't apply to you and him! so you can sing it as loud as you like. . .

As long as I can choose which weather to take. There's so much of it at this time of year.
