Verse 1
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
'Twas then he felt alone
A
nd wished that he
'd gone stra
ight
A
nd watched out fo
r a simple twi
st of fate
Verse 2
They walked alone by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel
W
ith a neon burning bright
H
e felt the heat of the night
H
it him l
ike a
freight train
M
oving with a si
mple twist of
fate
Verse 3
A saxophone someplace far-off played
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 si
mple twist of
fate
[Solo] (can hum or vocalize while picking)
Verse 4
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 no
t relate
Brought on b
y a simple tw
ist of fate
Verse 5
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 wa
it?
One more
time, for a si
mple twist of fate
Verse 6
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 simpl
e twist of fate
