Letras de Simple Twist of Fate

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
It 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 hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate

A saxophone somewhere far off played
As she was walking by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat up shade where he was waking 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, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn′t care
Pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside 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 once more for a simple twist of fate?

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe he was my twin
But I lost the ring
He was born in spring and I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
