Lyrics
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt the spark
And it tingled to his bones
It was then he felt alone
And he wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked alone by the old canal
A bit confused I remember well
They stopped in this strange hotel
With a neon burning bright
The lethal storm of night
And it hit him just like a freight train moving
With a simple twist of fate
A saxophone someplace far off plays
As she walks by the arcade
The light peers through the beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She tossed a coin into his cup
Another 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 that he did not care
And he pushed the window open wide
And to his surprise
And it hit him just like a freight train moving
With a simple twist of fate
He heard the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a pair of dead tocks
He hunts her down in the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in
Maybe he should pick her out again
But how long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate
Well people tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin
And I lost the ring
She was born in spring
And I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
I say blame it on a simple twist of fate
I say blame it on a simple twist of fate
