Wawona Morning
(Susan Cowsill, Russ Broussard)
Lead Singer: Susan
We sit in the same space
I listen to your face
And smile cuz we know, we know each other well
We’re all the same faces
In so many places
While we’re all laughing, the miles they are gone
I don’t even know you
But you I are still owe
Some love and respect for just being alive
We laugh the same laugher
We cry the same tears
So why all the heartache for so many years

Palm of My Hand
(Susan Cowsill, Russ Broussard)
Lead Singer: Susan
I was willing to fight
I was willing to ride into the night
I knew it was out there somewhere
And I would find it
In The Palm of My Hand
So I traveled for years
Far away on the river filled with tears
And every drop was salt that stung my heart
I was gone for so long
I grew older and older made me strong
Nothing can stop me now
And it never could anyhow
The Palm of My Hand
The Palm of My Hand
That’s where we will land
After spinning around, outside
The Palm of My Hand
I’ve been racing the time with the winters that come and go
Looking into the eyes of the strangers I used to know
Long ago in my mind
All of this time
Ah Ah Ah Ah Palm
Now it’s time to go home (Tired of living alone)
Tired of living alone
You’ll be there cuz you’ve been there all along
You’ll never guess what I found
After searching this whole world round
The Palm of My Hand
The Palm of My Hand
That’s where we will end
After spinning around, outside
The Palm of My Hand
The Palm of My Hand
That’s where we will stand
After spinning around, outside
The Palm of My Hand
The Palm of My Hand
The Palm of My Hand
The Palm of My Hand

Chirstmas Time
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Where ever I am
Where ever I stand
It’s my secret hiding place
Where ever you are
No matter how far you
You wind up inside my space
And I don’t think I care too much
Just what it is you see
I only know you’re looking straight through me
And here in the dark
Words broken apart
I paint by numbers on my face
Which one for the day
Won’t give it away
But you see deep inside my heart
I’m not the only one, you say
Who's painted black and blue
They’re not the only colors we can choose
We can choose
(Ahs)
Right now for today
I’ll stay where I stay
Just leave your number on my wall
Cuz it’s Christmas Time
And that’s when I’ll fine
And I will think about it in the fall
Today I’m painting in the sky
All the colors that you see
Maybe I’ll paint a few inside for me
Just for me
(Ahs)

Just Believe It
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Well I was thinkin’ about it on the way back home
The big old boulder has become a stone
And I’m still traveling around life’s bend
In no hurry to get to the end, are you?
Well I clean my windows, now the streaks are gone
And I can see for miles, not a road too long
So packed my bags, give em' all away
Well I’m sorry but I can not stay
It’s true, I’m movin' through.
And the stars tracking us all (or on) the way
Things are changing here everyday
I’m OK and the sky is still blue
The way I see it we make a choice
Take or leave it, can’t you see it?
Tell me now what are you gonna do?
Well want to see it, don’t you?
Well I was thinkin’ about it just the other night
That big old anchor has become a kite
I’m easin’ back while it flies away
I don’t even hold that string today
It’s true, I’m sailing through
And the stars tracking us all the way
Things are changing here every day
I’m OK and the sky is still blue
The way I see it we make a choice
Take or leave it, just believe it
Tell me now what are you gonna do?
Well, I want to believe it, don’t you?
You can’t stop sun, and you can’t stop trees
You can’t stop rain, and you can’t stop me
(Hey’s)
Well I was thinkin’ about it and I have to say
I am still not sure just how I lost my way
But all the same I’m not turnin’ back
These are better days, I won’t give them back
Would you, well you’d be a fool
And the stars tracking us all the way
Things are changing it every day
I’m OK and the sky is still blue
The way I see it we make a choice
Take or leave it, just believe it?
Tell me now what are you gonna do?
Well I want to see it, don’t you?
And I’m gonna believe it, won’t you?
I want to believe it, don’t you?
And the stars are tracking us all the way
And things are changing it every day
Humm, ummm, ummm umm
Humm, ummm, ummm umm)

I Know You Know
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Isn’t this a perfect day
Everybody let me change lanes on the freeway
And I can smell the sugar in the air
My head is spinning and I hear the music everywhere
I know you know just what I’m talking about
And it’s familiar to you
If you remember what we can't live without
Then we’ll finally all dream the same dream
Isn’t this a perfect night
I can hear the thunder cracking over every streetlight
And all my friends are dancing in the street
We love t talk about it, think about it
It’s the real thing
I know you know just what I’m talking about
And it’s familiar to you
If you remember what we can't live without
Then we’ll finally all dream the same dream
And if you’re lost and you don’t understand
Don’t you worry baby
Take my hand
I’ll lead you to the promise land
Isn’t this the perfect day
Everybody let me change lanes on the freeway
I know you know just what I’m talking about
And it’s familiar to you
If you remember what we can't live without
Then we’ll finally all dream the
I know you know just what I’m talking about
And it’s familiar to you
If you remember what we can't live without
Then we’ll finally all dream the same dream, yeah
Well I had a dream (All you need is love, all you need is love)
Calling out around the world (All you need is love, all you need is love)
(All you need is love, all you need is love, all you need is love)
Love is all you need, Love is all you need

Wawona Afternoon
(Susan Cowsill, Russ Broussard, M Meaux)
Lead Singer: Susan
Je suis tout seul
Loin de ma Coeur
Sans mon coeur
Je suis loin de ma maison
Ma seule petit
Parti a la guerre
Sans ma petit
Il n'y a pas de ma maison
I’m all alone
Far from my heart
And without my heart
I’m far from home
My only child
Has gone to war
And without my child
There is no home

Nanny's Song
(Susan Cowsill, M Prejean)
Lead Singer: Susan
You fell in love across the backyard fence
You read your books behind closed doors
You lived and loved with some regrets
“I’d do it all again,” she said
And as I turned around to go
I heard her singing sweet and low
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
Oho Oho I don’t want to let it go
You played the game, you played to win
You watched the game become a war
Now he’s fighting hard, he fights to live
And now they’re beating down his door
And when I ask here’s what he told
I want to see my son grow old
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
Oho Oho I don’t want to let it go
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
With all the endless summer days
Watching winter while it fades
Autumn’s sunlight through the trees
The scent of springtime on the breeze
It’s real life that sets you free
Can I take it all with me?
Watching babies while they sleep
Chasing fireflies through the streets
Sleeping under star filled skies
That moment real love arrives
It’s not as if I didn’t know
That I’d have to let you go
Now I was born with a broken heart
It’s not a pretty way to start
And deep down inside I always knew one thing
Beautiful joy my life would be
And when it’s my time to go
You’ll hear me singing sweet and low
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
Oho Oho I don’t want to let it go
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
No I don’t want to leave this earth

Who Knows Where the Time Goes
(Sandy Denny)
Lead Singer: Susan
Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It’s time for them to go
For the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes
Well who knows where the time goes
Ohhh
On a sad, deserted shore
The fickle friends are leaving
Oh but how are they to know
It’s time for them to go
Well I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
And who knows where the time goes
Well who knows where the time goes
And I am not alone
While my love is near me
And I know it will be so
Until it’s time to go
But come the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
And who knows how my love grows
Well who knows where the time goes

Gazebo
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Well my relationship with you
Is like a dream that I once had
These flashes in my mind
Are some home movie, but they’re mine
And I keep on losing track of you
It’s always been that way
We were never really on a track
Just a train that ran away
And I am not too sure at all
That I am comfortable this way
And then again I’m not so sure
It’s not the other way
Around, around the years roll by
Some times I get a ring
But the only time I see your face
Is when you want me to sing
And it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe
Under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show
If I sit quiet in the green room
And do your dishes every day
Stay out of your secret closets
Where you always went to play
And I’ve seen your monkey shaken
In it’s cage as you walk by
Just thinking about the old house
Always seem to make you cry
And it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe
Under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show
I will never tell on you
Say I can stay at least till Christmas Day
And it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe
Under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show
Cuz it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe
Under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show
I will never tell on you
Say I can stay at least till Christmas Day

Talkin'
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
I hear you lost your new girlfriend
Well I’m sorry for you
Did she get sick of you talking about me
Well I’m sick of it too
You should try volunteering
A new hobby or two
Maybe taking up knitting
Cuz spinning yarn is what you do
You’re talking’ s*** around town
Talkin’ s*** around town
You just sit around, and sit around and sit around
Talkin’ s*** around town
Sticks and stones, baby
Play your part
Private showings
Are not your style
I understand how you’re feeling
It sometimes gets to me too
But the last thing I need at the end of my day
Is to hear about you
Talkin’ s*** around town
Talkin’ s*** around town
You just sit around, you sit around and sit around
Talkin’ s*** around town
Sticks and stones, baby
Play your part
Private showings
Are not your style
You’re talkin’ s*** around town
Talkin’ s*** around town
You just sit around, and sit around and sit around
Talkin’ s*** around town
Talkin'
You’re talkin’ s*** around town
Well you just sit around town
Oh you just sit around, and sit around and sit around
Talkin’ s*** around town, so get a life

Crazy
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Stop the spinning in my head
Stop it, stop it, stop I said
It’s white noise burning through my brain
Quietly whispering my name
Can’t find the knob to turn it down
It’s much to dark to get around
Won’t somebody come and light the way
It is totally f***ing up my day
And it’s making me crazy
It’s making me crazy
Something’s up, it’s going down
It’s not just me, it’s coming 'round
Won’t somebody come and save the day
Or at least a little piece of me
And it’s making me crazy
It’s making me crazy
It’s making me crazy
I recognize another face
It’s time life granted me full grace
How many tickets for this ride
Well I never even ask for one
Oh please it’s time that I be done
Making me crazy
It’s making me crazy
And it’s making me crazy, crazy

White Light
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Whoooooo
White light of winter
On the Vermilion
It’ll blind you
Even save your soul
White light of winter
One in a million
And it’s calling your name
Telling you not to go home
White light of winter
Filling up my eyes
Shining through my heaven
Making the clouds cry
White light of winter
Lead me up river
Follow me gently
Makin’ sure that I get home
Home, home
Home
Home
White light of winter
Please answer my prayers
Listen like a mother
Floating in mid-air
White light of winter
Wraps you in its robe
Covers you gently
While it shows you the way home
Home, home
Home
Home
Home, home
White light of winter
Swimming through blue skies
Drowning in silver
All of my insides
White light of winter
Your days are numbered
Fit into summer
While I find a new home
Home, home
Home
Home, home, home
White light of winter
On the Vermilion
It’ll blind you
Even save your soul

Wawona Night
(Susan Cowsill, Russ Broussard)
Lead Singer: Susan
We’re all here together
Forever and ever
To breathe the same air
Speak our words, keep our faith
So kindness and sharing
Forgiveness and caring
And I stand where you stand
The whole human race
I don’t even know you
But you I still owe
Some love and respect
For just being alive
We laugh the same laughter
We cry the same tears
So why all the heartache
For so many years

Mr. Everything
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Hey, Mr. Everything
I’ve been watching you, watching you swim
And I know where you are
I’ve been there before
And it’s no big thing
Cuz you’re only human
Maybe more human than you wish to be
But you can not help yourself
You can’t swim and the river’s too deep.
Hold on
You see a mountain there
But you’re not sure that you can climb
I know it’s a long ways up
But don’t rush it, just give it time
And I’m not the one to talk
But I’m telling you what I tell myself
Don’t wanna to end up all alone
With our little hearts up on the shelf
Hold on
Just when you think that you have someone to call your own
And Lord it feels like you really want to go home
Well you could be home, home, home
Now you’ll have to ask yourself
Is it worth it all, can you take the pain?
Can you control yourself?
Can you do it without going insane?
Cuz I’ve seen that look before
I know her heart and I can see it in her eyes
And if it don’t work out
Well I guess it gotta lay awhile.
Hold on, Hold on
She gotta hold on
Hold

Don't Worry Baby
(Brian Wilson / Roger Christian)
Lead Singer: Susan
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry
Well it’s been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinkin’
Something's bound to go wrong
But he looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And he says (Don’t worry baby)
"Don't worry baby"
(Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I start to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
He makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When he says (Don’t worry baby)
"Don't worry baby"
(Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry, baby
Don't worry
Don't worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
He told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what he does to me
When he makes love to me
And he says (Don’t worry baby)
"Don't worry baby"
(Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
