"Year of the Cat" 是由Al Stewart創作的一首歌曲，這首歌的歌詞如下：
Verse 1:
One fine spring, a golden spring
Lives and loves, gets weeped and danced
You will recall my silver brooks
Washing their path beneath the view
You’re off on cloud nine
Got my teeth on the chase
Take the feeling home
Take my body along
Chorus:
Year of the cat
Diving to a hundred star
Got to the center
A time that your youth flies and gathers star
Year of the cat
You’re in the right place at the right time
Year of the cat
Verse 2:
I’m a cat in a dream
A dream that never ends
A dream that never dies
A dream that never ends
You’re in my head, you’re in my heart
You’re in my dreams, you’re in my life
You’re in my world, you’re in my soul
Chorus:
Year of the cat
Diving to a hundred star
Got to the center
A time that your youth flies and gathers star
Year of the cat
You’re in the right place at the right time
Year of the cat
Bridge:
And when you find your place in the sun
Your time will come, it will be soon
You will rise and shine, and then you’ll be one
Chorus:
Year of the cat
Diving to a hundred star
Got to the center
A time that your youth flies and gathers star
Year of the cat
You’re in the right place at the right time (repeat)
Outro:
Oh, it’s a year of the cat (repeat)
