Jethro Tull - Black Sunday Lyrics
Tomorrow is the one day I would change for a Monday
with freezing rains melting and no trains running
and sad eyes passing in windows flimsy
and my seat rocking from legs not quite matching
Got passport, credit cards, a plane that I'm catching
The taxi that takes me will be moving too quickly
My suitcases simply too full for the closing
of pants, shirts and kisses all packed in a hurry
Two best-selling paper backs chosen at random ---
no sign of sales-persons to whom I might hand them
Black Sunday falls one day too soon
And down at the airport are probably waiting
a few thousand passengers, overbooked seating
connections broken and Special Branch waiting
conspicuously standing in holiday clothing
Black Sunday falls one day too soon
Pick up my feet and kick off my lethargy
Down to the gate with the old mood upon me
Get out and chase the small immortality
born in the minute of my next returning
Impatient feet tapping and cigarette burning
Homecoming one day too soon
And back at the house there's a grey sky a-tumbling
Milk bottles piling on door steps a-crumbling
Curtains all drawn and cold water plumbing
Notepaper scribbles I read unbelieving
Saying how sorry, how sad was the leaving
...one day too soon

Jethro Tull Black Sunday Comments
so good
You feel so many things at the same time with this music, that's insane!!!!!
Superb! One of Ians best imo
in Ian's mind, this had to be his first solo release; chrisalys imposed to give the brand name Jethro Tull; in Ian's intention there was no the will to addict jobson in jethro tull line up. But his decision for the world tour of A with jobson, pegg and craney, sent barrie, dave, and john in anger; and then they quit the band for the next project (broadsword and the beast)
Best track on A IMO
Yes,it is
Underrated as Hell!
"Hi! I'm Ian Anderson and I've never met a time signature I couldn't bend to my will......"
Well said
Hadn't heard this one before. Excellent stuff.
Awesome band and great with Eddie Jobson !!!
The addition of Eddie Jobson to the band was magnificent! Saw this tour in Oakland CA.
A shame that Eddie did not stick around longer..........
Craney too ?
...Great Career! these guys have always ROCKED ! Always....
