Grand-Ranger you asked for one of my songs, you got it. Its not exactly Sabbath. Most of the songs I write are wistful, melancholy or just plain sad. This is a song about leavings and might have beens, set on the West Coast of Ireland.
You can hear this song if you like

Introduces a man with a fiddle - everyone, this is Adam Shapiro, fab fiddler and all round nice bloke! 
Where the Burren meets the sea
On the wild rocky coast of Clare a fair place I have seen,
Where rocks bare and broken form landscapes from a dream,
Where stones raised up long ago whisper tales to me
By the wild roses growing where the Burren meets the sea.
A young woman stands alone at dawning of the day,
Rememb'ring his gentle smile when she heard him say,
"I will meet you tomorrow love if you wait for me
By the wild roses growing where the Burren meets the sea."
Her young man he comes to her at noontide of the day.
"There is gold for the taking love, I am bound away.
I will make of you a rich man's wife if you wait for me
By the wild roses growing where the Burren meets the sea."
An old woman sits alone at ending of the day,
Watching the tall ships sail out from Galway Bay.
And he never did return to her waiting faithfully
By the wild roses growing where the Burren meets the sea.
On the wild rocky coast of Clare a fair place I have seen,
Where rocks bare and broken form landscapes from a dream,
Where stones raised up long ago whisper tales to me
By the wild roses growing where the Burren meets the sea

Dont think Sabbath is sad?
Iron Man- About a guy that no one likes (I think Ozzy is refering to his self in that song) so he pltos revenge on the world
Paranoid- How everyone is always un happy.
THey have lots of "sad" songs, I do too, I write songs..
Great song btw
