On a morning from a Bogart movie

in a country where they turned back time

you go strolling through the crowd like

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress

in the Year of the Cat.

She doesn't give you time for questions
C7+ Bm7 Em
as she locks up you arm in hers.

You know sometime you're bound to leave her
