BOB DYLAN - Simple Twist Of Fate lyrics

rate me

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.
