They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

Walked alone by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel
With a neon burnin' bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him like a freight train
Moving like a simple twist of fate

Saxophone played off far away
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
Where he was wakin' up
She dropped a coin into the cup
Of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

He woke up and the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
Pushed the window open wide
And felt the emptiness inside
To which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks
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 a simple twist of fate

People tell me it's a sin
To know too much, to feel too much within
I still believe it, she was my twin
But I lost the ring
She was born in the spring
But I was born too late
Moved on by a simple twist of fate
