Year of the Cat - 2020 Remaster

[01:07.77] On a morning from a Bogart movie
[01:11.74] In a country where they turn back time
[01:15.67] You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
[01:19.87] Contemplating a crime
[01:23.88] She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
[01:28.23] Running like a watercolor in the rain
[01:32.83] Don't bother asking for explanations
[01:36.38] She'll just tell you that she came
[01:39.46] In the year of the cat
[01:57.12] She doesn't give you time for questions
[02:01.07] As she locks up your arm in hers
[02:05.22] And you follow 'til your sense of which direction
[02:09.36] Completely disappears
[02:13.31] By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
[02:17.27] There's a hidden door she leads you to
[02:22.13] "These days," she says, "I feel my life
[02:25.36] Just like a river running through
[02:28.96] The year of the cat"
[02:46.01] While she looks at you so coolly
[02:49.99] And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
[02:53.63] She comes in incense and patchouli
[02:58.22] So you take her to find what's waiting inside
[03:05.77] The year of the cat
[04:30.32] Well morning comes and you're still with her
[04:34.13] And the bus and the tourists are gone
[04:38.14] And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
[04:42.14] So you have to stay on
[04:46.19] But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
[04:50.09] In the rhythm of the newborn day
[04:54.80] You know sometime you're bound to leave her
[04:58.36] But for now, you're gonna stay
[05:01.36] In the year of the cat
[05:17.43] Mm, year of the cat
[05:18.64]
