《Patterns(Demo)》歌词

[00:00:00] Patterns(Demo) - Simon & Garfunkel

[00:00:11] The night sets softly with the hush of falling leaves

[00:00:19] Casting shivering shadows on the houses through the trees

[00:00:27] And the light from a street lamp paints a pattern on my wall

[00:00:35] Like the pieces of a puzzle or a child's uneven scrawl

[00:00:46] Up a narrow flight of stairs in a narrow little room

[00:00:54] As I lie upon my bed in the early evening gloom

[00:01:02] Impaled on my wall my eyes can dimly see

[00:01:10] The pattern of my life and the puzzle that is me

[00:01:20] From the moment of my birth to the instant of my death

[00:01:28] There are patterns I must follow just as I must breathe each breath

[00:01:35] Like a rat in a maze the path before me lies

[00:01:43] And the pattern never alters until the rat dies

[00:02:05] And the pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fell

[00:02:13] And it's fitting that it should for in darkness I must dwell

[00:02:20] Like the color of my skin or the day that I grow old

[00:02:28] My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled
