Black Sunday Lyrics - A - Jethro Tull

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 

Black Sunday falls one day too soon 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And down at the airport are probably waiting 

a few thousand passengers, overbooked seating 

Time long suspended in transit-lounge traumas --- 

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 

Photos 

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
