A Perfect Lyric
I heard this song just the other day
and for some reason followed along
with the lyrics and was absolutely
blown away when I got to this one
incredible line!
It creates such a beautiful vision
right there before your eyes!!
You wanna reach out and hug
this chick for eternity LoLoL
Wow!!
I've listened to this song a thousand times
over the years but never really sang along
or paid any attention to the lyrics.
I was just happy when it came on
because it has such a soothing,
and calming affect LoL
But this time I read the lyrics
as the song progressed!
So just read this and try...
not to fall in love with this chick!!
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Holy mutha of all colorful creative lyrics...
I love it!
Also love the entire song by the way!!
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 'til 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 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 newborn day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now, you're gonna stay
In the year of the cat
Mm, year of the cat
