** Fill My Eyes **

1
And in the morning when you fill my eyes

I knew that day I couldn't do,

Ahh, no wrong, I couldn't do.

2
And so my mind begins to memorize

'Cause time will never seem the same,

Ahh, no more, never again.

Hook
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,

My legs are weak my heels are low.

I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll,

Can't make no headway on this road.

3
There's an empty space inside me now

A wasteland deep beneath the snow,

So cold, nothing'll grow.

Hook
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,

My legs are weak my heels are low.

I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll,

Can't make no headway on this road.
What road ?

4
And in the morning when you fill my eyes

I knew that day I couldn't do,

Ahh, no wrong, I couldn't do.

Hook
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,

My legs are weak my heels are low.

I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll,

Can't make no headway on this road.

Hook (repeats)
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,

My legs are weak my heels are low.

I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll,

Can't make no headway on this road.

* Writers Note:

Now, I’ve told you that Cat Stevens ..
(or Yusuf Islam as he later became known)
wrote the Lyrics to this fine song ..
and you can go to one of the Internet’s excellent Music Sites
and download his masterful musical version ..
and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
BUT it’s almost as if the song was written to be performed
by Linda Ronstadt.

to see and hear Linda’s version from ABC TVs
November 11, 1973
