Year Of The Cat/アル・スチュアート
以下、歌詞。
Year Of The Cat lyrics by Al Stewart「On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter LorreContemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress runningLike a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanationsShe'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 directionCompletely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stallsThere's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my lifeJust like a river running through
The year of the catShe looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouliSo 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 ticketSo you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remainIn the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave herBut for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat.」いやーお洒落な出だし。
Bogart movieですと。
怪異な容貌のピーター・ローレね。
year of the catは何だろう、メタファーだろうか。直接猫には関係無いのかな？
