Cat Stevens - 18th Avenue lyrics

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so<br>Down the road to the eighteenth avenue<br>And the people I saw were the people I know<br>And they all came down to take a view<br>Oh the path was dark and borderless<br>Down the road to the eighteenth avenue<br>And it stung my tongue to repeat the words<br>That I used to use only yesterday<br>Meanings just dropped to the ground<br>I tried to remember what I thought<br>And what I used to say<br>Don't let me go down no don't let me go<br>Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside<br>The empty waste of another day<br>Memories were blank to my eyes<br>The fire and the glory of that night<br>Seemed safely locked away<br>Too hungry to rise. too hungry to<br><br>Well I rode a while, for a mile or so<br>Down the road to the eighteenth avenue<br>And the people I saw were the people I know<br>And they all came down to take a view<br>Oh the path was dark and borderless<br>Down the road to the eighteenth avenue<br>But my head felt better as I turned the car<br>And the airport slowly came to view<br>One mile said the sign<br>Checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22<br>Made it just in time, boy you've made it just in time
