Year of the Cat (Single Version) - Al Stewart

On a morning from a Bogart movie

In a country where they turn back time

You go strolling through

The crowd like Peter Lorre

Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun

In a silk dress running

Like a watercolor in the rain

Don't bother asking for explanations

She'll just tell you that she came

In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions

As she locks up your arm in hers

And you follow till

Your sense of which direction

Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls

Near the market stalls

There's a hidden door she leads you to

These days she says "I feel my life

Just like a river running through"

The year of the cat

Why she looks at you so coolly

And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea

She comes in incense and patchouli

So you take her to find

What's waiting inside

The year of the cat

Well morning comes and you're still with her

And the bus and the tourists are gone

And you've thrown away

Your choice and lost your ticket

So you have to stay on

But the drumbeat strains of the night remain

In the rhythm of the new-born day

You know sometime you're bound to leave her

But for now you're going to stay

In the year of the cat

Year of the cat
