《Patterns》歌词

[00:00:01] Patterns -Simon And Garfunkel

[00:00:02] The night sets softly with the hush of falling leaves

[00:00:15] Casting shivering shadows on the houses through the trees

[00:00:23] And the light from a street lamp paints a pattern on my wall

[00:00:31] Like the pieces of a puzzle or a child's uneven scrawl

[00:00:39] Up a narrow flight of stairs in a narrow little room

[00:00:49] As I lie upon my bed in the early evening gloom

[00:00:58] Impaled on my wall my eyes can dimly see

[00:01:05] The pattern of my life and the puzzle that is me

[00:01:14] From the moment of my birth to the instant of my death

[00:01:24] There are patterns I must follow just as I must breathe each breath

[00:01:32] Like a rat in a maze the path before me lies

[00:01:39] And the pattern never alters until the rat dies

[00:01:48] And the pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fell

[00:02:09] And it's fitting that it should for in darkness I must dwell

[00:02:17] Like the color of my skin or the day that I grow old

[00:02:25] My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled
