Patterns (Demo)-Simon & Garfunkel

[00:11.70]The night sets softly [00:13.49]With the hush of falling leaves [00:18.95]Casting shivering shadows [00:21.35]On the houses through the trees [00:26.82]And the light from a street lamp [00:29.38]Paints a pattern on my wall [00:34.87]Like the pieces of a puzzle [00:37.13]Or a child's uneven scrawl [00:46.27]Up a narrow flight of stairs [00:48.28]In a narrow little room [00:53.88]As I lie upon my bed [00:56.03]In the early evening gloom [01:01.83]Impaled on my wall [01:04.17]My eyes can dimly see [01:10.05]The pattern of my life [01:11.86]And the puzzle that is me [01:20.24]From the moment of my birth [01:22.55]To the instant of my death [01:27.89]There are patterns I must follow [01:30.07]Just as I must breathe each breath [01:35.44]Like a rat in a maze [01:37.95]The path before me lies [01:43.10]And the pattern never alters [01:45.49]Until the rat dies [02:05.15]And the pattern still remains [02:06.99]On the wall where darkness fell [02:12.38]And it's fitting that it should [02:14.78]For in darkness I must dwell [02:19.89]Like the color of my skin [02:22.26]Or the day that I grow old [02:27.59]My life is made of patterns [02:29.60]That can scarcely be controlled
