The night sets softly
F#
F#

A
A

F#
F#

With the hush of falling leaves
Casting shivering shadows
E
E

On the houses through the trees
F#
F#

And the light from a street
lamp
A
A

F#
F#

Paints a pattern on my wall
E
E

Like the pieces of a puzzle
E
E

Or a child's uneven scrawl

Up a narrow flight of stairs
A

In a narrow little room
As I lie upon my bed

In the early evening gloom
F#
F#

Im paled on my wall
A

F#

My eyes can dimly see
E

The pattern of my life

And the puzzle that is me

F#

From the moment of my birth
A
A

To the instant of my death
F#
F#

There are patterns I must follow
E
E

Just as I must breathe each breath
F#

Like a rat in a maze
A
A

F#
F#

The path before me lies
E
E

And the pattern never al ters
E
E

Until the rat dies

On the wall where darkness fell
And it's fitting that it should

Like the col or of my skin

F#

Or the day that I grow old

My life is made of patterns

That can scarcely be controlled
