Year of the Cat
artist: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
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
Well, 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 what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
music
Well, morning comes and you're still with her
and the bus and the tourists are gone
and you've 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 you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
in the year of the cat

His flying jacket still has her perfume
Memories of the night
Play across his mind
High above the fields of France
A single biplane in a clear blue sk...
They crossed over the border the hour before dawn moving in lines through the day
Most of our planes were destroyed on the ground where they lay
Wait...
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...
Party hat and satin dress
Silver paper curled in her long black hair
Tapping one small elegant shoe in time
Oh, the way she plays with them
Smile at o...
I was watching
TV late last night
Long gone figures came back to life
In a documentary
Though I saw them dance for joy
I was sad
I missed that show
If...
When all the help in the world won't get you by
When all the friends that you lean on let you down
You'll wonder why
I see you there with your paintin...
Meet me at the station underneath the clock
Carry an umbrella, no need to talk
The man in the homburg, hiding in the fog
Will be watching
Get yourself...
