Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart
On a morning from a bogart movie
in a country where they turn back time
you go strolling through the crowd like (1)__________ lorre
contemplating a crime
she comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
like a watercolour in the rain
don't (2)____________ asking for explanations
she'll just (3)________ 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 (4)__________ direction
completely disappears
by the blue (5)__________ walls near the market stalls
there's a hidden door she (6)__________ you to
these days, she says, i (7)________ my life
just like a river running through
the year of the cat
She looks at you so cooly
and her eyes (8)__________ (9)________ the moon in the sea
she (10)__________ 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.
