On a morning from a Bogart movie

Like a watercolor in the rain

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

And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
          SI                DO
She comes in incense and patchouli

And the bus and the tourists to gone

And you've thrown away your choice

you've lost your ticket

In the rhythm of the newborn day

But for now you're going to stay

Pianoforte

Year of the Cat è un brano scritto e interpretato da Al Stewart, all'anagrafe Alastair Ian Stewart, contenuto nell'album omonimo pubblicato nel 1976. Settimo lavoro in studio per il cantautore di Glasgow, conferma l'importanza della sua penna nel mondo del folk revival internazionale nel quale si era imposto fin dal 1973 con Past, Present and Future. La canzone, che dà il titolo al disco, è la traccia di chiusura del lato B; prodotta dal grande Alan Parsons, divenne il suo cavallo di battaglia per eccellenza!
