Sad Lines in Sad Songs

Jethro Tull - Look Into the Sun:

So if you hear my sad song singing
Remember who and what you nearly had.
It's not easy singing sad songs
When you can sing the song to make me glad.
So when you look into the sun
And see the words you could have sung: It's not too late, only begun,
We can still make summer. Yes, summer always comes anyway.

That Harmar mine was the supplier to the old Wheeling -Pittsburgh Steel Corp. Not far from there, the old Harwick Mine was the site of one of the worst mining disasters ever in the early part of the 20th century. Almost 200 miners died that day in a huge explosion.


died that day in a huge explosion

And now, for five dollars, you can take a tour of the mine.

And she said we must get together
But I knew it'd never be arranged
And she handed me twenty dollars
For a two fifty fare, she said
"Harry, keep the change"

Well, another man might have been angry
And another man might have been hurt
But another man never would have let her go
I stashed the bill in my shirt

Wow!!! Taxi..Harry Chapin. One of the best!!!

Train Song, Vashti Bunyan:

What will I do if there's someone with you
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you
Love with no warning and find you alone
