They sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark

She looked at him he felt a spark tingle to his bones

It was when he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight

And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked down by the old canal a little confused I remember well

And then they stopped in a strange hotel with the neon burning bright

He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train

And moving with a simple twist of fate Saxophone some place nearby played she was walking on by at the arcade

As a light burst through a bead of shade

But as he was waking she dropped a coin into a cup of a blind man

That became and both got a bout of a simple twist of fate He woke up and the room was bear, he didn't see he anywhere

He told himself he didn't care, he pushed the window open wide

He felt an emptiness inside too

He could just not relate but by a simple twist of fate He hears the ticking of the clocks small waves whisper to the rocks

He hunts her down by the waterfront docks

Where the sailors all come in perhaps he'll see her once again

How long must he wait once more for a simple twist of fate People tell me it's a crime to feel to much at any one time

All it cost me was a dime but the bells refuse to ring

He was born in the spring but I was born to late to blame

It on a simple twist of fate
