[00:01.39] Patterns -Simon And Garfunkel
[00:02.95] The night sets softly with the hush of falling leaves
[00:15.74] Casting shivering shadows on the houses through the trees
[00:23.23] And the light from a street lamp paints a pattern on my wall
[00:31.59] Like the pieces of a puzzle or a child's uneven scrawl
[00:39.95] Up a narrow flight of stairs in a narrow little room
[00:49.81] As I lie upon my bed in the early evening gloom
[00:58.58] Impaled on my wall, my eyes can dimly see
[01:05.76] The pattern of my life and the puzzle that is me
[01:14.68] From the moment of my birth to the instant of my death
[01:24.66] There are patterns I must follow just as I must breathe each breath
[01:32.28] Like a rat in a maze, the path before me lies
[01:39.70] And the pattern never alters until the rat dies
[01:48.25] And the pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fell
[02:09.41] And it's fitting that it should, for in darkness I must dwell
[02:17.08] Like the color of my skin or the day that I grow old
[02:25.44] My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled
