Simple Twist of Fate (Bonus Track)

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

And wished that he'd gone straight

Watched out for a simple twist of fate

Walked alone by the old canal

A little confused, I remember well

He checked into a cheap hotel

With a 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, somewhere far-off played

She walked the lonely arcade

Sun 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

Forgot about that simple twist of fate

He woke up, the room was bare

He didn't see her anywhere

Told himself that he didn't care

Through the window open wide

Felt the emptiness inside

To which he just could not relate

Laid it on by a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks

Walks along with a parrot that talks

Get down to 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 that simple twist of fate?

People tell me that it's a sin

To know and feel too much within

All I know, she was my twin

But I lost the ring

She was born in spring

I was born too late

Blame it on a simple twist of fate

Blame it on a simple twist of fate
