'Wet Eye' Songs

[Richard A Thackeray]

Those that, for some reason, 'bring that speck of dust into your eyes', & make them moist....
Y'know, that same reaction that you get in 'The Railway Children', when Jenny Agutter (as Bobbi) runs down the platform, shouting "Daddy!, My Daddy!
(I bet it's not just me that scene gets that reaction from!?)

I was out in the car this morning, & my first 3 additions were played via 'Spotify'

I started to write a C&W song with the opening lyric "It's been kinda lonesome in the saddle since my horse died" but i'm struggling to finish it off.
