《Patterns》歌词

[00:00:00] Patterns - Simon & Garfunkel (西蒙与加丰科)

[00:00:18] The night sets softly

[00:00:19] With the hush of falling leaves

[00:00:24] Casting shivering shadows

[00:00:27] On the houses through the trees

[00:00:32] And the light from a street lamp

[00:00:34] Paints a pattern on my wall

[00:00:39] Like the pieces of a puzzle

[00:00:41] Or a child's uneven scrawl

[00:00:47] Up a narrow flight of stairs

[00:00:49] In a narrow little room

[00:00:54] As I lie upon my bed

[00:00:56] In the early evening gloom

[00:01:02] Impaled on my wall

[00:01:03] My eyes can dimly see

[00:01:09] The pattern of my life

[00:01:11] And the puzzle that is me

[00:01:17] From the moment of my birth

[00:01:19] To the instant of my death

[00:01:23] There are patterns I must follow

[00:01:26] Just as I must breathe each breath

[00:01:31] Like a rat in a maze

[00:01:33] The path before me lies

[00:01:38] And the pattern never alters

[00:01:40] Until the rat dies

[00:02:02] And the pattern still remains

[00:02:04] On the wall where darkness fell

[00:02:09] And it's fitting that it should

[00:02:11] For in darkness I must dwell

[00:02:16] Like the color of my skin

[00:02:18] Or the day that I grow old

[00:02:23] My life is made of patterns

[00:02:25] That can scarcely be controlled
