On a morning from a Bogart movie |
[01:11.81] |
In a country where they turn back time |
[01:16.00] |
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre |
[01:20.33] |
Contemplating a crime |
[01:24.00] |
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running |
[01:28.32] |
Like a watercolor in the rain |
[01:32.06] |
Don't bother asking for explanations |
[01:36.61] |
She'll just tell you that she came |
[01:39.11] |
In the year of the cat |
[01:42.11] |
|
[01:57.50] |
She doesn't give you time for questions |
[02:01.06] |
As she locks up your arm in hers |
[02:05.22] |
And you follow till your sense of which direction |
[02:09.47] |
Completely disappears |
[02:12.41] |
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls |
[02:17.66] |
There's a hidden door she leads you to |
[02:21.59] |
These days she says "I feel my life |
[02:25.59] |
Just like a river running through" |
[02:27.71] |
The year of the cat |
[02:31.65] |
|
[02:46.23] |
Why she looks at you so coolly |
[02:49.85] |
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea |
[02:53.99] |
She comes in incense and patchouli |
[02:57.88] |
So you take her to find what's waiting inside |
[03:05.51] |
The year of the cat |
[03:10.54] |
|
[04:29.29] |
Well morning comes and you're still with her |
[04:33.42] |
And the bus and the tourists are gone |
[04:37.61] |
And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket |
[04:41.80] |
So you have to stay on |
[04:44.20] |
|
[04:45.52] |
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain |
[04:49.85] |
In the rhythm of the new-born day |
[04:53.79] |
You know sometime you're bound to leave her |
[04:57.90] |
But for now you're going to stay |
[05:00.60] |
In the year of the cat |
[05:03.50] |
|
[05:17.20] |
Year of the cat |
[05:20.26] |
