The night sets softly
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
With the hush of falling le-e-eaves,
Casting shivering shadows
ch]C[/ch
On the houses through the trees,
ch]Dm[/ch
And the light from a street lamp
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
Paints a pattern on my wa-a-all,
ch]C[/ch
Like the pieces of a puzzle
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
Or a child's uneven scrawl
ch]Dm[/ch
Up a narrow flight of stairs
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
In a narrow little ro-o-oom,
As I lie upon my bed
ch]C[/ch
In the early evening gloom.
ch]Dm[/ch
Impaled on my wall
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
My eyes can dimly se-e-e
ch]C[/ch
The pattern of my life
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
And the puzzle that is me.
ch]Dm[/ch
From the moment of my birth
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
To the instant of my de-e-eath,
There are Patterns I must follow
ch]C[/ch
Just as I must breathe each breath.
ch]Dm[/ch
Like a rat in a maze
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
The path before me li-i-ies,
ch]C[/ch
And the pattern never alters
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
Until the rat dies.
ch]Dm[/ch
And the pattern still remains
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
On the wall where darkness fe-e-ell,
And it's fitting that it should,
ch]C[/ch
For in darknesss I must dwell.
ch]Dm[/ch
Like the color of my skin,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
Or the day that I grow o-o-o-old,
ch]C[/ch
My life is made of Patterns
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
That can scarcely be controlled.
