1. _ The Meaning Of Love
By michael mcdonald and jim photoglow
Just so many words
No more than a touch
In matters of love
I never knew much
Till you gave your heart
And all of your soul
I look at your face
And i see it all
Chorus:
Baby, you showed me the meaning of love
You opened my eyes
You were patient and wise
Baby, you showed me the meaning of love
You brought me this far
In all that you are
I see the meaning of love
So insecure
Afraid of mistakes
Knowing too well
The toll love can take

2. _ Obsession Blues
By michael mcdonald and bernie chiaravalle
Starin' back at a room full of strange faces
I sense another welcome worn thin
A bartender sayin' "son take it outside"
"take it out the door you brought it in"
He said, he don't wanna hear about my problem
Or why i think i got it so tough
He said guys like me come a dime a dozen
That my only problem is knowin' when i've had enough
(but) how can i have too much?
How can i have to much of somethin' i can't get enough of?
You said it so well in your letter baby
You gave me every reason why
Girl you sure use a lot of paper, just to say good-bye
Well here's to the good times
Here's to the way we were
Here's to how you tried to be my lover

3. _ All I Need
(michael mcdonald/tommy sims)
Like a river runnin' to the sea
There must be a reason for all these shattered dreams
Starts with our believing and ends with our backs against the walls
If i'm not careful i might convince myself
This is the way it's always gonna be
Spend my whole life wonderin' just what it means to survive
So i wonder, am i strong enough?
Do i have the strength i need to carry on?
All i'm askin' for is the path that's gonna lead me home
Chorus:
All i need is a shinin' light an open door
I'm askin' for nothin' more than a little hope
Another mornin' strange as it seems
Here once again with all these broken things
That once hung in the balance between the extremes of my life
With the will of a runaway train
I took my chances time and time again
Leaving nothin' but wreckage and pain behind
Chorus:
All i need (is) just one answer i'm lookin' for
I'm askin' for nothin' more |
4. _ Open The Door
By michael mcdonald and tommy sims
We're lost, baby that's ok
We may not always understand
We may not always know the way
We can cry and we can hurt sometimes
But we both know what's important
At the end of the line
It's not always the case that we know just what to do
But when it comes to me and you
Chorus:
We've both been here before
So let love open up the door
What love will surely show us
Ain't that what we came here for?
So let love open the door
Maybe it's time that we hold on tight
In each others embrace
We might just see the morning light

5. _ Someday You Will
By michael mcdonald and bernie chiaravalle
Behind us now lies a long bending road
And at this point we wonder what we need to be
All this way like a single heart
Just so you know nothings really changed for me
For so long i watched you shine your light
I know hope is hard to find right now (but)
Someday you will
Someday you will
In every life the darkest days seem so long
Till the fear fades like the waning tide
The mornin' comes when the din in your head subsides
Just enough for the quiet voice inside
To point the way to the place where your strength lies
Though it might take a while to find
Someday you will...
On that day you'll spread your wings and fly
Although now you may not know why
Someday you will...

6. _ Where Would I Be Now
By tony joe white and michael mcdonald
Something deep inside, keeps me hangin' on
Don't believe i've ever seen a night so long
Guess i tried to fly high above the clouds
But i landed here in the mornin' rain at your door
And i know i let you down again
But right now you know i need a friend
I don't know why
I guess i just lose my way
And your eyes don't believe a word i say
I can't imagine without your love
Where would i be now
Did you ever know
I always looked up to you
And after all this time it remains true
There's no compromise
No turning back for me
But through the vail of my pride
Sometimes it's hard to see
And i know your love is all i need
So when i fall don't stop believing in me
|
7. _ Build Upon It
By michael mcdonald and bernie chiaravalle
Day by day
One by one
They plant the seeds of doubt
But far too many have come this far
For me to turn back now
Chorus:
I wanna build upon it |
8. _ You Can't Make It Love
By michael mcdonald and john scott sherrill
You if anyone should know what time will tell
Not so long ago you taught me oh so well
Now your time has come
Someone took your place
(there's) no need to tell me that he's gone ( |
9. _ Kikwit Town
By michael mcdonald and chester thompson
From a house comes the sound of an infant crying
People stand and stare at the door
They dare not go in
Where a child lies sobbing beside a lifeless body
Trying in vain to awaken the mother within
This chain of death has so many faces
From the frightened man to the pitiful child
Where is our deliverance here?
Will this not pass over?
Chorus:
I won't go back to kikwit town
I won't go back
I won't go back to kikwit town
I won't go back
They would not give us my father's body
The men in orange suits started gathering |
10. _ Down By The River
By neil young
Be on my side, i'll be on your side baby
There's no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me standin' here all alone
When you could be takin' me for a ride
Ooh la la la
She could drag me over the rainbow
And take me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Take my hand, i'll take your hand baby
Together we might get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today
Ooh la la la
She could drag me over the rainbow
And take me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Be on my side, i'll be on your side baby
There's no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me standin' here all alone
When you could be takin' me for a ride
Ooh la la la
She could drag me over the rainbow
And take me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river...

11. _ No Love To Be Found
By michael mcdonald and bernie chiaravalle
Down here on love's killin' floor
I doubt if we could take much more
Here and now, (we) need to ask ourselves why
We've come this far only to find
The price of happiness
We no longer pay
You gotta really love someone
Words alone are cheap
It's more of what you do
And less of what you say
Baby i don't wanna live
In some prison of promises
Baby look around at all this emptiness
There ain't no love to be found
With a love like this
All broken and bruised
You just walk a way
With nothin' to lose
Here and now, (we've) got to ask ourselves why
If love is through, then why even try
Baby i don't wanna live
In some prison of promises
Baby look around
It's all but hopeless know
Baby look at you and me
This vision of loneliness
Any fool can see
The walls are tumblin' down
There ain't no love to be found
Take a look at you and me
This vision of loneliness
Baby any fool can see
That between you and me
There ain't no love to be found
