“Dreary, Dreary” is loosely based on The Miserable Mill, the fourth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Unlike other songs on The Tragic Treasury, which focus on main plot points of their respective books, this track is about the running theme of Lemony Snicket’s love for a mysterious woman name...
[Refrain]
Dreary, dreary
Dreary, dreary
[Verse 1]
Gone, gone, the girl in brocade
Gone, the words we might have said
Howl winds, because she is dead
And gone, gone, gone
[Chorus]
Were teary, teary eyes once bright?
Weary, sighs the tune
Dreary, dreary falls the night
And eerie light of the moon
[Refrain]
Dreary, dreary
Dreary, dreary
[Verse 2]
Gone, gone, my Beatrice
Gone, the lips I longed to kiss
Into a black and bleak abyss
Gone, gone, gone
(Gone are the summers of croquet and cribbage)
[Chorus]
Were teary, teary eyes once bright?
Weary, sighs the tune
(Gone, gone, are the winters of snow)
Dreary, dreary falls the night
And eerie light of the moon
(Sigh, the secrets gone, too)
Were teary, teary eyes once bright?
Weary, sighs the tune
(Silver springs, golden falls)
Dreary, dreary for all the night
And eerie light of the moon
[Refrain]
Dreary, dreary
Dreary, dreary
