Stormy Weather
Navigating Life's Storms: A Melancholic Journey Through Pasadena Roof Orchestra's 'Stormy Weather'
Lyrics
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky, stormy weather
Expresses confusion about the absence of sunlight due to stormy weather.
Since my gal and I ain't together, keeps raining all the time
Describes how separation from the narrator's partner leads to continuous rain.
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere, stormy weather
Life feels bleak and filled with unhappiness due to the stormy weather.
Just can't get my poor old self together
Struggling to compose oneself emotionally and mentally.
I'm weary all the time, the time
The narrator feels constantly tired and fatigued.
So weary all the time
Repeated emphasis on the exhaustion and weariness felt by the narrator.
When she went away the blues walked in and they met me
The arrival of sadness and depression coincided with the departure of the narrator's partner.
If she stays away, that old rocking chair's gonna get me
Fear of loneliness and despair if the partner remains absent.
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Hoping for divine intervention to bring back happiness.
Walk in the sun once more
Longing to experience joy and happiness again.
Can't go on, everything I had is gone, stormy weather
Expresses the inability to continue due to the loss experienced because of the stormy weather.
Since my gal and I ain't together
Reiterates the impact of separation on the narrator's emotional state.
Keeps raining all the time
Reaffirms the constant rainfall due to the absence of the narrator's partner.
Keeps raining all the time
Emphasizes the continuous nature of the rainfall.
