The Light At The End Of The Line
A film by Peter Cunningham
Lyric:
(Janis Ian)

It’s the end of the line
and I know it’s been rough
Oh, but time after time,
it was always enough
You were there when I laughed
You were there when I cried
You are there as I tell you “Good-bye”

It’s the end of the line
and whatever they say,
I was yours, you were mine
Just a heartbeat away
Close enough to be kissed
Far enough to be missed
From the cradle to silver and grey

In due time, there will be
someone else who will see
all the good in your heart,
even though we’re apart
Oh, how I’ve loved your heart

In the blink of an eye,
all that’s left is the past
and the memories fade
‘til there’s silence, at last
But the song will remember
The spark will still shine
It’s the light at the end of the line
There’s a light at the end of the line
THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE LINE
It's the end of the line, and I know it's been rough
Oh but time after time, it was always enough
You were there when I laughed, you were there when I cried
You are there as I tell you goodbye

It's the end of the line, and whatever they say
I was yours, you were mine - just a heartbeat away
Close enough to be kissed, far enough to be missed
From the cradle to silver and gray

In due time there will be someone else who will see
all the good in your heart, even though we're apart
Oh, how I loved your heart

In the blink of an eye, all that's left is the past
and the memories fade 'til there's silence at last
but the song still remembers, the spark will still shine
It's the light at the end of the line
There's a light at the end of the line

Tears streaming down my face. You were the singer of my young adulthood. I got through so many things with the lyrics of your songs. Thank you, dear Janis, for your lifetime of work and giving of yourself to us. May you go forward with our love ringing in your ears.

I am a 30yo Brazilian who discovered your work three years ago while watching Nina Simone videos. I came across your comment on a song called 'Stars, ' where you mentioned that you wrote it. I was amazed and began to follow your work. I feel blessed to be able to access your lyrics; they are deep and beautiful. I just want to express my gratitude for your art. Thank you!

In her career, she rose to the level of one of our best songwriters and solo performers. I can't express how deeply her music has touched my heart over the years( I'm 65), but I can tell you that I think and feel she is in the top 10 best songwriters of all time. That's says a lot, and I've listened to quite a wide range of them over those 65 years. She's that good in my opinion.

I listened a lot to you growing up Janis. You're a big part of the soundtrack to my life. Your album "Between the lines" was always in the top 10 on repeat on my turntable. I'm listening to "In the Winter "as I'm writing. Wow, does that take me back. What great lyrics and fab music to go.There is something magical about these memories. I still really treasure it. Thank you for the beautiful times and the memories. Cheers from Norway, Thor 😘

You're cool - you're beautiful - you're gentle on the ears - you're a soothing soul - you're talented - you're a BLESSING ---- I could - go on an on. I just read that you are having throat problems of some sort - and may not be able to sing (?) ---- That is regrettable. sad... - But do know that the body of work that you've done will live on for generations and positively impact many! YOU ARE A LIGHT at the end of the line.
The LORD bless you and keep you!

So, so beautiful. And thank you oh so much to the person who transcribed the lyrics here. Finally, someone who breaks the lines where they break in the song. That's how the feelings to me anyway. Love ya Janis.
