Al Stewart - Year of the cat



Uploaded by: ElaineMarley
Video Description:
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.

Wonderful song that I never get tired of hearing and talking about. I still feel like a young man but at 55yrs old I have to admit that I might stroll through a crowd but there won't be any woman coming out of the sun in a silk dress running like a water color in the rain! At least she won't be headed my way. That's okay I can still dream and this song is all about that. The piano, guitars and his voice are just great. Enjoy

i can play that piano part like a copy. i´ve played piano 17 yrs now and when i heard this song i just had to practice that, and it took only 15minutes to learn it, it´s simple when you really know how to play piano. The piano part is just amazing. Still lynyrd skynyrd pianist is the best of them all =)
