I was listening to Janis Ian's Between the Lines last night (one of my faves) and I am now going to call this the "Josef and Sarah album."
Even though this is the album with "At Seventeen" on it (really, NOT a Sarah song
), the rest of the album pretty much tells their story... here are four that really jumped out at me. You can listen to them on her website. The player includes about half of each song and the full song for a couple of them:

Light A Light
I hear your voice in every corridor
See your face in every picture frame
I feel your eyes in every starry sky
Lover, am I coming home again
Now am I humble, who once was proud
Now am I silent, who once was loud
Now am I waiting for the sound of your saying
Lover, am I coming home again
When you're gone, the sun don't shine
Light a light, light a light for me
Bring me back home again
And how we loved, 'til the years were days
How we laughed all our tears away
and now the time begins to fade
Lover, am i coming home again
There's a wisdom in the teachings
of the old familiar songs,
and a sorrow in repeating
all the old familiar wrongs,
and a lesson to be learned,
though I've known all along
Lover, am I coming home again
Light a light, light a light for me
Light a light, light a light for me
Light a light, light a light for me
Bring me back home again
Bring me back home again
Tea And Sympathy
I don't want to ride the milk train any more
I'll go to bed at nine, and waken with the dawn
and lunch at half past noon
Dinner prompt at five
The comfort of a few old friends long past their prime
Pass the tea & sympathy
for the good old days long gone
Let's drink a toast to those who most
believe in what they've won
It's a long, long time 'til morning
plays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line,
for my true love is gone
And when the guests have done
I'll tidy up the room
I'll turn the covers down
and gazing at the moon
will pray to go quite mad
and live in long ago
when you and I were one, so very long ago
Pass the tea & sympathy
for the good old days long gone
Let's drink a toast to those who most
believe in what they've won
It's a long, long time 'til morning
plays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line,
for my true love is gone
And when I have no dreams
to give you any more,
I'll light a blazing fire
and wait within the door,
and throw my life away
"I wonder why?" they all will say
And now I lay me down to sleep,
forever and a day
Pass the tea & sympathy
for the good old days are dead
Let's drink a toast to those who best
survived the life they've led
It's a long, long time 'til morning,
so build your fires high
Now I lay me down to sleep,
forever by your side
From Me To You
I'm leaving by night, I'm leaving alone
Leaving it lie, when you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me as I would not beg for you
though I'd like to be the one to see you through
Every step you have taken disappears with the tide
You're torn up and shaken with changing your mind
You haven't got the grace to say you'll finally decide
and you haven't got the strength to stay to fight
Those people who surround you
only want to see you weak enough to crawl
They'll lie for you, decide for you
and buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
And they'll try to stop your singing
in the middle of your song
for they do not want you free
and they will not make you strong
but only drag you down in the hole they're coming from
They say you are foolish for wanting the sun
They call you selfish for learning to run
They'll tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise
You never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind
and they'll do their best to keep you from the light
You're more than beginning, you're learning to fly
Feels like you're falling, but it passes in time
and I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song
so I'm waiting by the doorway - I will not linger long
I'm leaving by night, I'm leaving alone
Leaving you lie. When you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me as I will not beg for you
but I'd like to be the one to see you through
Watercolors
I remember photographs
Watercolors of the past
He turned and said - You ask much of me
Then, when we'd made our peace,
we lay between the sheets
He turned and said - I set you free
Go on, be a hero, be a photograph
Make your own myths
Christ, I hope they last
longer than mine
Wider than the sky we measure time by
Go on, be a hero, I set you free
Your stagehand lovers have conquered me
They'll send you carnations,
while smiling faces look on and applaud
Go on, go on, go 'way from me
I said - Do you wish me dead?
Lip service to books you've read
Articles on how to bed a bird in flight
You called it love - I called it greed
You say - You take what you want
I say - You get what you need
Go on, be a hero, be a man
Make your own destiny if you can
Go find a fence, locate a shell
and hide yourself
Go on, go to hell, go away from me
I need no charity
He said - Come unto me
I am beauty
I am the light
Come unto me
Hold the darkness and stay the night
for I am wonder, I am the heart's delight
Tomorrow we'll fight
Come on, come on, come near to me
Come be my fantasy
We'll talk it over again sometime
I'll send you some flowers
to change your mind,
but for tonight, turn out the light
Hold me -
Come on, come on and set me free
Lend me your charity
But the lyrics in general remind me of the "When darkness falls, a hero will rise" tagline that was used in the early Moonlight promos, which takes me back to the time when Moonlight was new and full of potential and I was eagerly looking forward to new episodes each week...
