Simple Twist Of Fate
Key: DEnglish
Verse
DThey sat together in the F#mpark as the evening sky grew dark D7
She looked at him and he felt a spark Gtingle to his bones
GmT'was then he felt alone and wished Dthat he'd gone Gstraight
And Dwatched out for a Gsimple Atwist of Dfate
Verse
They walked along by the old canal, a little confused I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright
He felt the heat of the night, hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate
Verse
A saxophone some place far off played as she was walkin' by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
Verse
He woke up, the room was bare, he didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
Verse
He hears the ticking of the clocks and walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait?
Once more time for a simple twist of fate
Verse
People tell me it's a sin to know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin but I lost the ring
She was born in spring but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
