Jesse / Janis Ian Jesse, come home There's a hole in the bed Where we slept Now it's growing cold Jess, your face In the place where we lay By the hearth, all apart It hangs on my heart And I'm leaving the light on the stairs No, I'm not scared - I wait for you Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home Jesse, the floors and the boards Recalling your step And I remember too All the pictures are fading All..

The Other Side of the Sun / Janis Ian (1980) Leaving on a boat for beyond the other side of the ocean I'll bet you in the morning you won't even know I'm gone Tired of living here in the middle of a mixed emotion I might as well be living' on the other side of the sun Leaving with the feeling I don't know how I'm dealing with loving you Though once I knew the special way and what to do To make y..

Love Is Blind / Janis Ian (1976) Love is blind Love is only sorrow Love is no tomorrow Since you went away Love is blind How will I remember In the heat of summer pleasure Winter fades How long will it take Before I can't remember Memories I should forget I've been burning Since the day we met Love is blind Love is without a mercy Love is 'Now you've hurt me' 'Now you've gone away' Love is blind..

In the Winter / Janis Ian (1975) The days are okay I watch the TV in the afternoon If I get lonely The sound of other voices Other rooms are near to me I'm not afraid The operator She tells the time It's good for a laugh There's always radio And for a dime I can talk to God Dial-a-prayer Are you there?
