They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him
And he felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
T'was then he felt alone
And wished
That he'd gone straight
And watched out
For a simple twist of fate
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused
I remember well
And stopped into
A strange old town
Where the neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him
Like a freight train
Moving
With a simple twist of fate
A saxophone someplace
Far off played
As she was walking on
By the arcade
As the light burst
Through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped her coin
Into the cup
Above a blind man
At the gates
And forgot about
His 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
