���They sat together in the parkAs the evening sky grew darkShe looked at himAnd he felt a sparkTingle to his bonesT'was then he felt aloneAnd wishedThat he'd gone straightAnd watched outFor a simple twist of fateThey walked along by the old canalA little confusedI remember wellAnd stopped intoA strange old townWhere the neon burning brightHe felt the heat of the nightHit himLike a freight trainMovingWith a simple twist of fateA saxophone someplaceFar off playedAs she was walking onBy the arcadeAs the light burstThrough a beat up shadeWhere he was waking upShe dropped her coinInto the cupAbove a blind manAt the gatesAnd forgot aboutHis simple twist of fate������������, 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 sailors all come in �� Maybe she'll pick him out again �� How long? �� Must he wait? �� One more time �� For his 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 reign �� She was born in spring �� But I was born too late �� But I was born too late �� Blame it on his simple twist of fate ���������������������*
