Lyrics

[00:26.790] They sat together in the park
[00:30.160] As the evening sky grew dark
[00:33.480] She looked at him
[00:34.920] He felt a spark tingle to his bones
[00:39.550] Twas when he felt alone
[00:42.590] And wished that he'd gone straight
[00:46.080] And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[00:52.510] They walked down by the old canal
[00:56.100] A little confused I remember well
[00:59.270] And then they stopped in a strange hotel
[01:01.830] With the neon burning bright
[01:05.070] He felt the heat of the night
[01:08.110] Hit him like a freight train
[01:13.100] And moving with a simple twist of fate
[01:18.830] Saxaphone some place nearby played
[01:22.020] She was walking on by at the arcade
[01:25.540] As a light burst through a bead of shade
[01:28.050] But as he was waking
[01:31.130] She dropprd a coin into a cup of a blind man
[01:36.040] That became and both got a bout
[01:39.260] Of a simple twist of fate
[02:10.630] He woke up and the room was bear
[02:13.640] He didn't see he anywhere
[02:17.180] He told himself he didn't care
[02:19.890] He pushed the window open wide
[02:23.240] He felt an emptyness inside too
[02:26.160] He could just not relate
[02:29.740] But by a simple twist of fate
[02:37.000] He hears the ticking of the clocks
[02:39.860] Small waves whisper to the rocks
[02:43.460] He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
[02:45.880] Where the sailors all come in
[02:49.540] Maybe she'll pick him out again
[02:52.520] How long must he wait one more time
[02:57.960] For a simple twist of fate
[03:29.390] People tell me it's a sin
[03:32.220] To know and feel too much within
[03:35.210] I still believe she was my twin
[03:37.790] But the bells refuse to ring
[03:41.430] He was born in the spring
[03:44.530] But I was born to late to blame
[03:49.320] It on a simple twist of fate
