Lighthouse
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan

Far away when I was young
Outside my window, straight though dawn
Past the miles of rolling grass
Across the water made of glass

A becon of light
Shines all through the night
Just for me

It's always there, it guides my way
No matter where I roam
Through dreams of pirate ships that take me
Far away from home

OUt there on the sea
Where all of us will be
Calling look for me, follow me

I'll take you home
Put your heart in my hand
And know that you're not alone
I'll never ever ever leave you out in the cold
Out in the cold

I set out on this lonesome ride
And I did it on my own
Searching for a million years
For where do I belong.
But always deep in the night
I could still feel the light
Look for me, follow me
My lighthouse
My lighthouse

Could This Be Home
(Susan Cowsill / Russ Broussard)
Lead Singer: Susan

I look around this town and I can't feel
There's something wrong, we lost the song
And this is way too real
This is the only place I've ever belonged
And now it's gone
And I wanna go home

There used to be a lot of things that I could see
Most of the time they were right in front of me
But, this one's hiding very well amongst the trees
And that's alright with me
Could this be home

Could this be home
Could this be home
Could this be home.

I don't pretend to know where all the flowers grow
I just know

The way the wind comes sweeping through the valley here
It's quiet swirling music it's to my ear
And I can take a break away from my breaking heart
And that's a place to start
This could be home.

This could be home

Well, all you gotta do is look at me and I can do the rest
Your faith in me and who you see it takes away my breath
And I never thought I could climb a mountain quite so high
And that is why
With you I'm always home.

With you I'm always home.
With you I'm always home.
With you I'm always home.

Well, I don't pretend to know where all the flowers grow
I just know
I don't pretend to know where all our sorrow goes
I just know
When we are home

The Rain Song
(Susan Cowsill and Vicki Peterson-Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan

I don't think about us much anymore
And frankly the topic has become a bore
And you don't come up much in my conversations
And I don't think about you on vacation

When it rains
When it rains
When it rains
Well that's when I remember
And I remember you

Well I don't think about you when I'm sleeping
It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind
And I don't think I see your face through the curtain
No, I don't even miss you half the time

When it rains
Oh when it rains
When it rains
Well that's when I remember
Yeah that's when I remember
And I do remember you
Well I remember you - oh

Oh rain, rain, go away
I'm doin' fine as long as you stay
Locked up inside your cloud of grey
Rain, Rain, Rain,
Rain, Rain, Rain, oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Yeah cuz when it rains
Oh when it rains
Oh when it rains
Well that's when I remember
Yeah that's when I remember
And I do remember you
Well I remember you
That's when I remember
The only time I remember
Well that when I remember you
That's when I remember you

Well that's when I remember
The only time I remember
And I remember you

I Feel the Earth Move
(James Taylor, Carole King)
Lead Singer: Susan

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Ooo, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby, uh huh huh uh huh huh yeah

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a'tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a'tumbling down I just lose control
Down to

Real Life
(Susan Cowsill / Russ Broussard)Lead Singer: Susan

Much too much time on my hands
Not enough time in the day just to be who I am
Maybe I'll walk on the wire
Maybe I'll swallow some fire today
Or walk in the snow with no shoes on, you know
On the coldest of cold winters' days

'Cause sometimes real life can be
Much too much grown up for me
And sometimes real life can be
A beautiful place that you never ever wanna leave

I think I'll study the rain
See if it's true what they say about Spain
And the rain on the plain
And just what kind of plain do they mean?

'Cause sometimes real life can be
Much too much grown up for me
And sometimes real life can be
A beautiful place that you never ever wanna leave

Wanna leave
I am over my head
I'm under the gun
And when all is done and said
I just wanna have fun
I just wanna have fun
Doesn't everyone?
I just wanna have fun

I hear hime jingling his keys
The Captain is telling me
It's time to go ... its the end of the show
I can come back whenever I please

'Cause sometimes real life can be
Way too much grown up for me
And sometimes real life can be
A beautiful place that you never ever wanna leave

Wanna leave
Wanna leave
And I don't wanna leave
I've got much too much time on my hands

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

(Heys)

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)

Benny and the Jets
(Elton John)
Lead Singer: Susan

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Uh but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong

Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh but -
