The 1942 film "Casablanca" was the first obvious inspiration for the lyrics (On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turn back time) but Al Stewart also uses Year of the Cat as a metaphor for, hmmm . . . shall we say, a part of a woman's anatomy. It must have been a very sexual year. This is an unforgettable song about what happens when an exotic woman lures you in, you fall in love, knowing you should just walk away . . . but you can't.
