SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE
|
|
|
They sat together in the park
|
As the evening sky grew dark,
|
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones.
|
'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
|
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.
|
|
They walked along by the old canal
|
So confused, I remember well
|
Stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright.
|
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
|
Moving with a simple twist of fate.
|
|
A saxophone someplace far off played
|
She was walkin' under the arcade.
|
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up,
|
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
|
Forgot about a simple twist of fate.
|
|
He woke up and the room was bare
|
He didn't see her anywhere.
|
He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide,
|
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
|
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
|
|
He hears the ticking of the clocks
|
Walks along with a parrot that talks,
|
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in.
|
Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
|
One more time for a simple twist of fate.
|
|
People tell me it's a sin
|
To know and feel too much within.
|
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
|
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
|
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
