Intro x 4...

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...

Alto...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..

Alto...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...

Alto..Well she looks at you, so coolly..
And her eyes shine.. like the moon in the sea-
She comes in incense, and patchouli
So you take her.. (alto)to find what's waiting inside...
The year of the cat...

Solos...violin, spanish guitar, electric, sax y sigue...

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...

Alto...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...
intro completa
In the year of the cat... synth, sax...
