I'm Not There movie - Simple Twist Of Fate lyrics

rate me

Song by Jeff Tweedy<br /><br>

They sat together in the park <br>

As the evening sky grew dark, <br>

She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones. <br>

'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight <br>

And watched out for a simple twist of fate. <br>

<br>

They walked along by the old canal <br>

A little confused, I remember well <br>

And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright. <br>

He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train <br>

Moving with a simple twist of fate. <br>

<br>

A saxophone someplace far off played <br>

As she was walkin' by the arcade. <br>

As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up, <br>

She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate <br>

And forgot about a simple twist of fate. <br>

<br>

He woke up, the room was bare <br>

He didn't see her anywhere. <br>

He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide, <br>

Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate <br>

Brought on by a simple twist of fate. <br>

<br>

He hears the ticking of the clocks <br>

And walks along with a parrot that talks, <br>

Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in. <br>

Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait <br>

Once more for a simple twist of fate. <br>

<br>

People tell me it's a sin <br>

To know and feel too much within. <br>

I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring. <br>

She was born in spring, but I was born too late <br>

Blame it on a simple twist of fate.<br>

<br>
