Janis Ian As Far as Love Goes Lyrics:
Underneath the neon sign
Of Harry's Bar & Grille,
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 you 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.

[Instrumental break featuring trumpet.]

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.
