Cloudy every morning
Sun don't never shine
Cloudy every morning
Sun don't ever shine
Since I lost my baby
I been losing my mind
I thought this was a warm place
I must be in the wrong place
Thought this was a warm place
I must be in the wrong place
And I don't know where I'm going
Since my lover left me
Never no smile on my face
I am he is you are he is you are me and we are all together
Buddy, this ain't L.A.
I've traveled such a long way
Buddy, this ain't L.A.
I've traveled such a long way
And I still don't know where I'm going
But without my baby here
I better not stay
I better not stay

    Great electric blues tune, It has really heavy guitar and base lines and the horns make for outstanding punctuation. I pulled out this album in 1971 after a breakup and played this one over and over. It's sound and message meshed so well with with my feelings it was as if I was climbing right into the song, curling up and being rocked reassuringly.

    Long story short, we eventually got back together and married. To this day, she doesn't understand why I love this song so.
