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
|
It was then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
|
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.
|
|
They walked alone by the old canal
|
A little confused I remember well
|
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning 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
|
As she was walking on by the arcade
|
As the light bust through a-beat-up shade where he was waking up
|
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
|
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
|
|
He woke up 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
|
And 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.
