| [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 |
