[00:10.31]They sat together in the park
[00:14.55]As the evening sky grew dark
[00:18.41]She looked at him
[00:20.04]He felt a spark tingle to his bones
[00:25.71]Twas when he felt alone
[00:29.70]And wished that he'd gone straight
[00:33.69]And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[00:39.74]
[00:42.36]They walked down by the old canal
[00:45.36]
[00:46.66]A little confused I remember well
[00:50.47]And then they stopped in a strange hotel
[00:53.59]With the neon burning bright
[00:57.90]He felt the heat of the night
[01:02.26]Hit him like a freight train
[01:06.20]And moving with a simple twist of fate
[01:12.54]
[01:14.67]Saxaphone some place nearby played
[01:18.47]She was walking on by at the arcade
[01:22.97]As a light burst through a bead of shade
[01:26.58]But as he was waking
[01:29.77]She dropprd a coin into a cup of a blind man
[01:35.61]That became and both got a bout
[01:40.61]Of a simple twist of fate
[01:44.84]
[02:19.09]He woke up and the room was bear
[02:23.21]He didn't see he anywhere
[02:25.84]
[02:27.01]He told himself he didn't care
[02:30.07]He pushed the window open wide
[02:33.07]
[02:33.82]He felt an emptyness inside too
[02:37.87]He could just not relate
[02:42.44]But by a simple twist of fate
[02:48.51]
[02:50.88]He hears the ticking of the clocks
[02:53.60]
[02:54.85]Small waves whisper to the rocks
[02:58.97]He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
[03:02.03]Where the sailors all come in
[03:04.79]
[03:05.91]Perhaps he'll see her once again
[03:09.66]
[03:10.71]How long must he wait once more
[03:16.11]For a simple twist of fate
[03:20.29]
[03:23.41]People tell me it's a crime
[03:27.04]To feel to much at any one time
[03:31.52]All it cost me was a dime
[03:34.45]But the bells refuse to ring
[03:38.70]He was born in the spring
[03:42.75]But I was born to late to blame
[03:48.00]It on a simple twist fateof
