Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat 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
Like a watercolor 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
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, 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 your choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drumbeat 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
Year of the cat

A beautiful piece of music. A classic standing the test of time well.👍🏿
LOVE THIS TUNE...sorry for the caps
Love this song..
It sick
Epic song into 2020
I see a bunch of really weird references here that I dont understand but I just gotta say... this song slaps to this day.
Colin Long Agreed.
You cookie cutters don't know Big Lenny?!?
Its so good
1976 bought my first guitar, because of this album
Since then i have seen Al 18 times in concert. All time favorite place was The Bottom Line N.Y.C
ah! Meus 15 anos! Linda!
Amo esta música, muito boa ❤️
Lovely song golden oldie classic
Terima kasih dato m nasir.
Loved, loved, loved this song my JR. Year in HS. Give me any song with a dirty,, sexy alto sax solo and Im done for. One thing you can say about Al Stewart —he enunciates every word to a tee. Love Van Morrison but one can”t say that about him..
Genial, me encanta
What year is it today? Feels like the year of the Frog. It's 1932, right?
This is about the fact every guy has spent a year chasing “P—“ er eh “cat”. Then once you’re in there, it’s hard to leave - you’ve lost your ticket for freedom.
hahahahaahaha big lenny XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
No imagino la vida sin ésta canción
Que música que me fãs esquecer de tudo e me faz muito bem ..Linda .muito linda ....
Guardo essa música com tanto carinho. Aonde você estiver sinta esse carinho. Foi um sonho muito bom. Aliás divino. Deus abençoe sua vida aonde você se encontrar. Se ainda estiver vivo na terra receba meu carinho e minhas recordações.
Puedo escuchar este tema todo el tiempo que melodia tan hermosa que fantasia que hermosura ....thank Al Stewar.
This song will be played at a funeral in the year 2072 as an army of maniacs lowers a school bus sized casket in to the ground as a line of the hottest tan 1010s ever created fire off one last 21 "gun" salute, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT. Then the soul of a 700lb freak with veins' spirit is lifted to the heavens by Christina Broccolini.
And yes, the corpse will be oiled up and in it's posing trunks, bigger and harder than Dale Chance or any of his sons/nephews will ever be.
What man hasn't had dreams about a mysterious girl who "comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain," be it anywhere in the world?
Christina Broccolini.
@I'm a hard cummer. Fuck you, bitch., what are you talking about?
@sandinyourshoes A goddess.
Was born in 1970, remember hearing this in the back of the station wagon. Great time to grow up as a kid.
summer afternoons where i would wonder what the years ahead would be like
Every time I hear the beginning of this song I get emotional...
Just great!
Ok mr affirmative action
When life has you down and things are looking bleak, just remember that it could always be worse - you could have wrote this song.
Just wonderful. Bought this on release, still playing it today, though now on cd.
The year of the lenny when music was music
Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys ripped off this vocal style.
If you own a pair of headphones, put them on and listen to this song. The panning is amazing and, unlike many other songs, the separation doesn't seem like a gimmick.
Too underrated nice song.
This song must be played at Lenny's funeral when he dies at 102.
120* barring injury
This album art gave me nightmares when I was a little boy.
Capolavoro del timido e grande Al.
wtf... who the hell is big lenny? who gives a f---k?This is transdential music
You cookie cutter. This song would be nothing without that freak Big Lenny. You got that, Mr. Affirmative Action?
I was here for the big lenny meme.. but goddamn, this is actually a good song lmao. I enjoyed it.
Freudian slip.

Un grand clásico del rock,una canción que seguirá con el paso de los años.
¿ Escocia ?
Es un clásico cuando tiene la capacidad y la virtud de mantenerse en el gusto de los tiempos y los espacios de quienes la escuchan.

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 watercolor 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
While 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 your choice you've 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
Year of the cat
Worst song ever
Cookie cutter...
dudaloo dudaloooo
May the rivers of piss flow forever at Al Janoy Stewart’s retirement home at Lake Cresva
The best songs are from the 70s and the 80s.
My god, must be one of the best, or the best song written to honor the cat...eh, the year of the cat!
7th grade and hitch hiking with tune. Life was the best in the 70's. His music got me through the most difficult times in my youth.
Please someone make a meme video whit the screaming lady and the white cat this year definitely was the year if the cat!!!
