Patterns - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)[00:00:00]
The night sets softly[00:00:14]
With the hush of falling leaves [00:00:17]
Casting shivering shadows[00:00:22]
On the houses through the trees [00:00:25]
And the light from a street lamp[00:00:30]
Paints a pattern on my wall [00:00:33]
Like the pieces of a puzzle[00:00:38]
Or a child's uneven scrawl [00:00:41]
Up a narrow flight of stairs[00:00:50]
In a narrow little room [00:00:52]
As I lie upon my bed[00:00:58]
In the early evening gloom [00:01:00]
Impaled on my wall[00:01:06]
My eyes can dimly see[00:01:08]
The pattern of my life[00:01:14]
And the puzzle that is me [00:01:16]
From the moment of my birth[00:01:27]
To the instant of my death [00:01:30]
There are patterns I must follow[00:01:35]
Just as I must breathe each breath [00:01:37]
Like a rat in a maze[00:01:43]
The path before me lies [00:01:45]
And the pattern never alters[00:01:51]
Until the rat dies [00:01:53]
And the pattern still remains[00:02:10]
On the wall where darkness fell [00:02:12]
And it's fitting that it should [00:02:18]
For in darkness I must dwell [00:02:20]
Like the color of my skin [00:02:25]
Or the day that I grow old [00:02:28]
My life is made of patterns[00:02:33]
That can scarcely be controlled[00:02:36]
