about

The title track that Country Chart said, "The lyrics of 'Lighthouse' pierce the heart, and the ethereal instrumentation is perfect. If you close your eyes while listening to 'Lighthouse,' you can feel the penetrating emotion pouring through Susan Cowsill's veins. This is an intimate musical treasure." And Bluegrass Special Magazine's interview questioned, "In that respect, the first time I listened to the record and got to the title song, which is kind of deep into the album, a lyric jumped out at me as having two themes emerging from it that seem crucial to understanding the whole of the album. The lyric is: “I set out on this lonesome ride/I did it on my own/searching for a million years/for where do I belong/but always deep in the night/I can still feel the light/look for me, follow me/my lighthouse, my lighthouse.” The two themes being both your personal journey--from childhood, the personal odyssey from then to today--And the other theme being the strength of someone’s love--maybe it’s Barry’s, I don’t know if you’re addressing him--but someone’s love is a guiding force in your life. Am I making too much of this?"

lyrics

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

A beacon 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
