Black Cat Cafe | Holly Hanson | Neptune's Car

A song about one night in Budapest. Written and performed by Holly Hanson. Read the story behind the song at: http://folky1.blogspot.com/2008/09/black-cat-cafe-how-it-was-created.html

I'm searchin' for the Black Cat Cafe.
I'm somewhere near the banks of the Danube River.
I've left behind the gold duvets
and the dark, paneled walls
for the black of the night
and the sparkle of the city.

Let's meet and have a drink and talk about
the ancient past -- the missing link and what
you think about treasures found in distant lands.
Come take my hand and lead the way.
I'm searchin' for the Black Cat Cafe.

I've got this map but I don't know how to read it.
I wish the birds on the bridge could show the way.
Ah, but now I see that they're just bronze --
a legend from mythology. I'm still on my way --
just wait at the Black Cat Cafe.

Let's meet and have a drink and talk about
the ancient past -- the missing link and what
you think about treasures found in distant lands.
Come take my hand and lead the way.
Bring me to the Black Cat Cafe.
