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 cause then he felt alone then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight watch out for the simple twist of fate walked along by the old canal a little confused i remember well stopped into a strange hotel with neon burning bright felt the heat of the night like a freight train moving with a simple twist of fate saxophones someplace far off play she was walking on by the arcade as the light bust through a beat up shade where he was waking up she drops the coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate forgot about a simple twist of fate he woke up room was bare he didn't see her anywhere he told himself he didn't care whisked the window open wide felt the emptiness inside to which he could just 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 before a simple twist 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 ring. she was born in spring, but I was born too late blame it on a simple twist of fate
