[00:15.39] Year of the Cat
[00:23.39]
[00:31.55] artist:Al Stewart
[00:47.38]
[01:05.61] On a morning from a Bogart movie
[01:10.64] in a country where they turn back time
[01:15.35] you go strolling through the crowd
[01:17.47] like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime
[01:22.70] She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
[01:26.43] running like a watercolour in the rain
[01:32.02] Don't bother asking for explanations
[01:34.22] She'll just tell you that she came
[01:38.35] in the year of the cat
[01:40.01]
[01:55.83] She doesn't give you time for questions
[02:00.11] as she locks up your arm in hers
[02:04.67] and you follow till your sense
[02:06.92] of which direction completely disappears
[02:12.83] By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
[02:17.14] there's a hidden door she leads you to
[02:21.72] these days, she says, I feel my life
[02:24.90] just like a river running through
[02:28.03] the year of the cat
[02:32.95]
[02:45.23] Well, she looks at you so cooly
[02:49.55] And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
[02:52.55] She comes in incense and patchouli
[02:54.93] So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
[03:04.52] The year of the cat
[03:12.10]
[04:29.14] Well, morning comes and you're still with her
[04:32.69] and the bus and the tourists are gone
[04:35.45] and you've thrown away the choice
[04:38.45] and lost your ticket
[04:39.84] so you have to stay on
[04:44.93] But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
[04:47.30] in the rhythm of the new-born day
[04:53.01] You know sometime you're bound to leave her
[04:56.26] But for now you're going to stay
[04:58.62] in the year of the cat
[05:16.30] en~in the year of the cat
[05:39.37]
