- Al Stewart Year Of The Cat 歌詞
- 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 watercolour in the rain
Dont bother asking for explanations
Shell just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat.
She doesnt give you time for questions
As she locks up your eyes in hers
And you follow till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
Theres 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
She looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find whats waiting inside
The year of the cat.
Well morning comes and youre still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And youve thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime youre bound to lose her
BUt for now youre going to stay
In the year of the cat.
