They sat together yet apart
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 what's now for him
A simple twist of fate
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
They stopped off into a strange hotel
With a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night
It hit him like a freight train moving
With a simple twist of fate
A saxophone somewhere far off played
As she was walking on down the arcade
As the light burst through a beat-up shade
Where he was waiting
She dropped a coin into the cup
Of the blind man at the gate
Forgot about his simple twist of fate
Now he hears the ticking of the clocks
He walks along with a parrot that talks
He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where all the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again
But how much longer must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate
Now people tell me that it's a sin
To know and feel so much within
I do believe she was my twin
But I lost the ring
She was born in spring
And I guess I was born to mend
Blame it on a simple twist
Blame it on a simple twist
Blame it on this simple twist of fate
