Army Dreamers?  Breathing?  Mother Stands for Comfort?
Empty Bullring?  Blow Away?  All the Love?  Never Be Mine?

These certainly qualify as sad in my book, though that's probably
not the first adjective that comes to my mind when I think
of them.  If you're really into sad songs, check out the new
Aimee Mann album "Whatever."  Brilliant stuff, but I wish 
she'd write a couple of happy tunes once in a while just to mix
it up.
