|
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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
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 drumbeat strains of the night remain |
|
In the rhythm of the newborn day |
|
You know sometime you' re bound to leave her |
|
But for now, you' re going to stay in the year of the cat |
|
