《Year Of The Cat》歌词

[00:00:00] Year Of The Cat (猫之年) - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德)

[00:01:07] On a morning from a Bogart movie

[00:01:11] In a country where they turn back time

[00:01:15] You go strolling through

[00:01:16] The crowd like Peter Lorre

[00:01:19] Contemplating a crime

[00:01:23] She comes out of the sun

[00:01:25] In a silk dress running

[00:01:28] Like a watercolor in the rain

[00:01:32] Don't bother asking for explanations

[00:01:36] She'll just tell you that she came

[00:01:38] In the year of the cat

[00:01:57] She doesn't give you time for questions

[00:02:01] As she locks up your arm in hers

[00:02:04] And you follow till

[00:02:06] Your sense of which direction

[00:02:09] Completely disappears

[00:02:13] By the blue tiled walls

[00:02:15] Near the market stalls

[00:02:16] There's a hidden door she leads you to

[00:02:20] These days she says "I feel my life

[00:02:25] Just like a river running through"

[00:02:27] The year of the cat

[00:02:45] Why she looks at you so coolly

[00:02:49] And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea

[00:02:53] She comes in incense and patchouli

[00:02:57] So you take her to find

[00:03:00] What's waiting inside

[00:03:05] The year of the cat

[00:04:29] Well morning comes and you're still with her

[00:04:33] And the bus and the tourists are gone

[00:04:37] And you've thrown away

[00:04:38] Your choice and lost your ticket

[00:04:41] So you have to stay on

[00:04:43] But the drumbeat strains of the night remain

[00:04:49] In the rhythm of the new-born day

[00:04:53] You know sometime you're bound to leave her

[00:04:57] But for now you're going to stay

[00:04:59] In the year of the cat

[00:05:17] Year of the cat
