Simple Twist of Fate

	They sat together in the park
	As the evening sky grew dark
	She looked at him
	He felt a spark tingle to his bones
	It was then he felt alone
	And wished that he'd gone straight
	And watched out for a simple twist of fate
	They walked down by the old canal
	A little confused I remember well
	And then they stopped in a strange hotel
	With the neon burning bright
	He felt the heat of night
	Hit him like a freight train
	And movin' with a simple twist of fate
	Saxophone, some place nearby played
	She was walking on by the arcade
	As a light burst through a bead of shade
	But he was wakin' up
	She dropped a coin into a cup of a blind man
	That decayed and woke up 'bout a
	Simple twist of fate
	He woke up and the room was bare
	He didn't see her anywhere
	He told himself he didn't care
	He pushed the window open wide
	He felt an emptiness inside too
	He just could not relate
	Brought on by a simple twist of fate
	He hears the ticking of the clocks
	Small waves whisper to the rocks
	He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
	Where the sailors all come in
	Perhaps he'll see her once again
	How long must he wait once more?
	For a simple twist of fate
	People tell me it's a crime
	To feel too much at any one time
	All it cost me was a dime
	But the bells refuse to ring
	He was born in the spring
	But I was born too late
	To blame it on a simple twist of fate
