Patterns-Paul Simon

[ti:Patterns] [ar:Paul Simon] [al:The Paul Simon Songbook] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Patterns - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙) [00:14.78]The night sets softly [00:17.08]With the hush of falling leaves [00:21.96] [00:22.88]Casting shivering shadows [00:25.26]On the houses through the trees [00:30.19] [00:30.82]And the light from a street lamp [00:33.44]Paints a pattern on my wall [00:38.06] [00:38.80]Like the pieces of a puzzle [00:41.24]Or a child's uneven scrawl [00:45.97] [00:50.46]Up a narrow flight of stairs [00:52.84]In a narrow little room [00:57.59] [00:58.27]As I lie upon my bed [01:00.52]In the early evening gloom [01:05.81] [01:06.32]Impaled on my wall [01:08.69]My eyes can dimly see [01:13.43] [01:14.31]The pattern of my life [01:16.73]And the puzzle that is me [01:20.99] [01:27.98]From the moment of my birth [01:30.35]To the instant of my death [01:34.64] [01:35.53]There are patterns I must follow [01:37.77]Just as I must breathe each breath [01:43.14]Like a rat in a maze [01:45.76]The path before me lies [01:50.55] [01:51.06]And the pattern never alters [01:53.57]Until the rat dies [01:56.39] [02:10.74]And the pattern still remains [02:12.87]On the wall where darkness fell [02:17.18] [02:18.43]And it's fitting that it should [02:20.67]For in darkness I must dwell [02:25.85]Like the color of my skin [02:28.52]Or the day that I grow old [02:32.95] [02:33.82]My life is made of patterns [02:36.01] [02:36.57]That can scarcely be controlled
