Contextual Analysis of "dreary" in Lyrics

start

dreary days and nights are all i see

the words so heavy

o

start

drawn by her weeping song

start

out my window

i've already seen everyone in this

some you love

well it's the way she smiles that i remember

i've forgotten when or where

hand in hand we both entwine

and all we think about is that someday we might

miss the mississippi and you

everywhere i go

but like the weather you changed

baby

well

while i traveled down that way

start

pale color blue on pale color white

do you hear me now?

stay!

early morning

aching hands are pulling a millstone

got the power cause i'm bigger

it will work out

haaahahaaaah. you're here now with the woe

you know you're right in the end

start

life runs painfully gray down the walls of time

and we grow fat

seen the shadows grow

my love

so for the present dear

for without the warmth of your caress

and i couldn't care less - unless

and it's a stuggle keepin' sight of who you are

and my southern heart is weary
