Lyrics

[00:10.20] They sat together in the park
[00:14.70] As the evening sky grew dark
[00:18.58] She looked at him
[00:20.02] He felt a spark tingle to his bones
[00:25.83] Twas when he felt alone
[00:29.83] And wished that he'd gone straight
[00:33.83] And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[00:42.71] They walked down by the old canal
[00:46.83] A little confused I remember well
[00:50.64] And then they stopped in a strange hotel
[00:53.77] With the neon burning bright
[00:58.08] He felt the heat of the night
[01:02.52] Hit him like a freight train
[01:06.21] And moving with a simple twist of fate
[01:14.83] Saxaphone some place nearby played
[01:19.27] She was walking on by at the arcade
[01:23.21] As a light burst through a bead of shade
[01:26.52] But as he was waking
[01:29.90] She dropprd a coin into a cup of a blind man
[01:36.44] That became and both got a bout
[01:40.69] Of a simple twist of fate
[02:19.13] He woke up and the room was bear
[02:23.38] He didn't see he anywhere
[02:27.20] He told himself he didn't care
[02:30.13] He pushed the window open wide
[02:34.01] He felt an emptyness inside too
[02:38.45] He could just not relate
[02:42.70] But by a simple twist of fate
[02:51.20] He hears the ticking of the clocks
[02:55.26] Small waves whisper to the rocks
[02:59.26] He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
[03:02.63] Where the sailors all come in
[03:06.20] Perhaps he'll see her once again
[03:11.01] How long must he wait once more
[03:16.63] For a simple twist of fate
[03:23.63] People tell me it's a crime
[03:27.39] To feel to much at any one time
[03:31.76] All it cost me was a dime
[03:34.70] But the bells refuse to ring
[03:39.07] He was born in the spring
[03:42.88] But I was born to late to blame
[03:48.07] It on a simple twist of fate
