Janis Ian - The Light at the End of the Line lyrics

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 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
