Janis Ian - As Far as Lonely Goes letra de (lyrics)

Underneath the neon sign of
Harry's Bar and Grill
Someone hugs a bottle to take away the chill
Oh, but the wind still blows
Carries his sleeping soul
As far as lonely goes

Upstairs in a penthouse behind a golden door
Someone's drinking pink champagne to
Keep from being bored
Between the highs and lows
The icy wind still blows
As far as lonely goes

You would never buy a bottle
To wash away your troubles
If you could buy a suitcase for your soul
You would make a pretty package
Of all your extra baggage
Lock it up and send it down the road
As far as lonely goes

From the has-beens to the haves
From the mansions to the alleys from
The riches to the rags
Underneath our clothes
We're all the same, you know
As far as lonely goes

I would never buy a bottle
To wash away my troubles
If I could buy a suitcase for my soul
I would make a pretty package
Of all my extra baggage
Lock it up and send it down the road
As far as lonely goes as far as lonely goes
