Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: BobKnight Date: 15 Jul 19 - 06:46 PM Or how about? "I don't have good days anymore, Every day is a bad day, but some hurt a whole lot more. And even my best days are bad, Oh how I wish that we could get back to the happiness we had." Or? It's the sweet memories that break the loving heart, The way you smiled for me that made me love you from the start. But there's no comfort when I think of you and me, 'Cos what hurts most are those sweet memories. Had enough? Plenty more of those miserable weepies. haha |

Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Daniel Kelly Date: 21 Jul 19 - 05:09 AM I put the lyrics to this song up a few months ago, these lines are from 'William Conquest Turland' by John Warner: I dug two graves beside the creek where old Dick's bridge now stands, And I can still feel Hannah's grasp a-trembling in my hands, The road ahead holds children, home and labour, land and friend, But I held Hannah, sobbing hard, where one road found its end. |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: BobKnight Date: 21 Jul 19 - 05:33 AM You have to feel sorry for these young lovers in Bruce Springsteen's "The River." "No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle, No flowers, no wedding dress." |

Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Steve Shaw Date: 21 Jul 19 - 06:41 AM But now alas the tide has changed My love she has gone from me And winter's frost has touched my heart And put a blight upon me Creeping fog is on the river, Flow sweet river, flow Sun and moon and stars gone with her, Sweet Thames flow softly |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Daniel Kelly Date: 21 Jul 19 - 07:05 AM Steve, Richard Thompson sure has a gift for the melancholy. |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Steve Shaw Date: 21 Jul 19 - 10:27 AM Well he surely does, but that song is by Ewan... Here's one of my favourite sad Richard bits: Then they dragged her away It was handcuffs this time She said "my good man are you out of your mind? Don't you know that we're married? See, I'm wearing his ring. From Galway to Graceland to be with the King. I come from Galway to Graceland to be with the King." |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: GUEST,HiLo Date: 21 Jul 19 - 01:27 PM Great choice Steve, I thought of this song when this thread began. One of the saddest songs ever...right up there with John Prines' Angel from Montgomery... How the hell can a person Go out in the mornin, Come home in the evenin and have nothin to say. Hope I got that right ! |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Thompson Date: 21 Jul 19 - 01:56 PM Many's the girl is singing this song nowadays: "What's the matter with you, me lass, and where's your dashing Jimmy?" "Them soldier boys have picked him up and taken him far from me Last payday, he went into town and them red-coated fellows Enticed him in and made him drunk, and he'd better gone to the gallows |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: GUEST Date: 22 Jul 19 - 02:09 PM This whole song.... Stan Rogers - First Christmas This day a year ago, he was rolling in the snow With a younger brother in his father's yard Christmas break, a time for touching home, The heart of all he'd known And leaving was so hard Three thousand miles away, Now he's working Christmas Day Making double time for the minding of the store Well he always said, he'd make it on his own He's spending Christmas Eve alone First Christmas away from home She's standing by the train station, Pan-handling for change Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room Looks like the Sally Ann place after all, In a crowded sleeping hall That echoes like a tomb But it's warm and clean and free, And there are worse places to be At least it means no beating from her Dad And if she cries because it's Christmas Day She hopes that it won't show First Christmas away from home In the apartment stands a tree, And it looks so small and bare Not like it was meant to be, Golden angel on the top It's not that same old silver star, You wanted for your own First Christmas away from home In the morning, they get prayers, Then it's crafts and tea downstairs Then another meal back in his little room Hoping maybe that "the boys" Will think to phone before the day is gone Well, it's best they do it soon When the "old girl" passed away, He fell apart more every day Each had always kept the other pretty well But the kids all said the nursing home was best Cause he couldn't live alone First Christmas away from home In the common room they've got the biggest tree And it's huge and cold and lifeless Not like it ought to be, And the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top It's not that same old silver star, You once made for your own First Christmas away from home |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: FreddyHeadey Date: 22 Jul 19 - 03:12 PM A half empty washing line serves to remind that you're fallen and always standing in line. Standing In Line - Lester Simpson sadder still when sung by June Tabor. ~~~~~~~~~~ I live in the shadow of a hill A hill of little shoes Hill of Little Shoes - Pete Atkin / Clive James and nearly every line in the song : thread.cfm?threadid=73979#3906959 |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Joe_F Date: 22 Jul 19 - 05:40 PM And the keepsakes locked in the chests That were sold at the auction Down at the Sailors' Rest. |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: GUEST,GUEST Date: 23 Jul 19 - 01:56 AM She was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing And I miss her more than ever words could say If I could just taste all of her wildness now If I could hold her in my arms today… I wouldn’t want her any other way. Yestre’en the queen had four Marys—the nicht she’ll hae but three; There was Mary Beaton, and Mary Seton, and Mary Carmichael and me. It’s often hae I dressed my queen, and put gold in her hair, But noo I’ve gotten for my reward the gallows tae be my share. |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Tony Rees Date: 23 Jul 19 - 06:05 PM From The Maid of Coolmore The Bothy Band version: The first time that I met her, she passed me by The next time that I met her, she bade me good-bye But the last time that I met her, she grieved my heart sore For she sailed down Lough Foyle and away from Coolmore ... not having a very good time at all! |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Tony Rees Date: 23 Jul 19 - 06:11 PM Half surprised no-one has already called up Crazy Man Michael (that Thompson fellow again...) - last verse goes Crazy Man Michael he wanders and calls And talks to the night and the day-o But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is plain And he longs to be far away-o Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes And asks of the wild wolves their pardon For his true love is flown and into every flower grown And he must be keeper of the garden But the whole song is pretty sad. Especially as sung on the original, by Sandy Denny :) - Tony |
Subject: RE: saddest lines in song From: Stewie Date: 23 Jul 19 - 06:50 PM From Mark Germino's moving song about suicide - 'Black Angel Cure': Now I shoot the darkness down, I puncture what is swollen And sometimes I’ll tear it down, just to keep it rolling But picture some years gone by and someone who can’t do that Then step back and tell me how you get somebody through that When they know that soon the axe will fall Judge not somebody hopeless Or anyone who can’t quite focus Kill what you can that is not pure But don’t take the black angel cure --Stewie. |
