* Leonard Cohen: Suzanne.



* Al Stewart
: Year of the Cat. Its music has an intense lyricism and song tells an interesting story:

Quote:
'Year of the Cat' is a narrative song written in the second person whose protagonist is a tourist in an exotic market where a mysterious silk-clad woman appears to carry him away for a gauzy romantic adventure. On wakening the next day beside her, the tourist realizes, with equanimity, that his tour bus is gone and he has lost his ticket. He will be staying on for a while.
