The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

STORMY WEATHER/ILL WIND

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
I just can’t get my poor old self together
I’m weary all the time, all the time

When he went away the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair is gonna get me
All I do is pray the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more

Can’t go on, no
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

Blow ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You’re blowin’ me no good, no good

Go ill wind, go away
Skies are oh so gray around my neighborhood and that’s no good

(Keeps raining all the time and that’s no good)
You’re only misleadin’ the sunshine I’m needin’
Ain’t that a shame?
Lord, it’s so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up from out of nowhere when love’s to blame

Ill wind, go away
You’re blowin’ me no good, no good, no good
You’re blowin’ me no good
I don't know why
I don't know why
No good

I walk around heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
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, love, love, love

Keeps raining just too much for me
Can't go on
