Al Stewart - Year of the cat

The version with the piano solo in the beginning. Lyrics: 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 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.

Stay that way buddy, I am 32 and grew up with my Dads music in the back of the 2.8i granada and playing his old soul and motown on the huge old stereo we had. From about your age, always listen out for new music which you can only do by listening to old music. Stay happy stay listening.

This song reminds me of a snowmobile I took 10 years ago in Northern Quebec. Traveling all day over 275 miles and approach the ST lawrence River as the sun is going down, sun shining on the river and we are 1100' above desending downward to our final destination. Snow over 7'deep as we areblasting through powder to get down the top of the pass, This music is playing in my headset through our comunicators. What a rush. I mean a RUSSSSSSSSSSSSHHH!!!!!!!!

I think it's even sadder for some of us who used to be the girl in the silk dress, but can't even really run anymore! (I also had a gold pendant just like the one this pianist is wearing.)
