The Year Of The Cat Lyrics

Send "The Year Of The Cat" Ringtone to your Cell

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

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

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  
  
 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
