Simple Twist of Fate

[00:27.43] They sat together in the park
[00:30.17] As the evening sky be dark
[00:33.38] She looked at him and he felt a spark
[00:36.55] Tingle to his bones, it was then he felt alone
[00:42.36] And wished that he'd gone straight
[00:46.46] Watch out for a simple twist of fate
[00:53.25] They walked along by the old canal
[00:55.96] Was so confused, I remember well
[00:59.12] Stopped into a strange hotel
[01:02.19] With a neon burning bright
[01:05.13] He felt the heat of the night
[01:08.15] It hit him like a freight train
[01:12.14] Moving with a simple twist of fate
[01:18.88] A saxophone someplace far off played
[01:21.83] She is walking under the arcade
[01:25.02] The light bust through a beat-up shade
[01:28.24] Where he was waking up
[01:30.90] She dropped a coin into the cup
[01:34.18] Of a blind man at the gate
[01:37.67] Forgot about a simple twist of fate
[01:43.07]
[02:10.02] He woke up and the room was bare
[02:13.23] He didn't see her anywhere
[02:16.62] He told himself that he didn't care
[02:19.61] Pushed the window open wide
[02:22.69] Felt an emptiness inside
[02:25.61] To which he just could not relate
[02:29.03] Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[02:36.27] He hears a ticking of the clock
[02:39.25] And walks along with a parrot that talks
[02:42.43] Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
[02:45.42] Where the sailors all come in
[02:48.48] Maybe she'll pick him out again
[02:51.49] Oh, how long must he wait
[02:55.00] One more time for a simple twist of fate
[03:00.57]
[03:27.43] People tell me it's a sin
[03:30.46] To know and feel too much within
[03:33.66] I still believe she was my twin
[03:36.69] But God, I lost the ring, she was born in spring
[03:42.82] But I was born too late
[03:46.08] Blame it on the simple twist of fate
[03:49.58]
