Joan Baez - Simple Twist of Fate lyrics

rate me

They sat together in the park

As the evening sky grew dark

She looked at him

He felt a spark tingle to his bones

Twas when 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 the night

Hit him like a freight train

And moving with a simple twist of fate

Saxaphone some place nearby played

She was walking on by at the arcade

As a light burst through a bead of shade

But as he was waking

She dropprd a coin into a cup of a blind man

That became and both got a bout

Of a simple twist of fate

He woke up and the room was bear

He didn't see he anywhere

He told himself he didn't care

He pushed the window open wide

He felt an emptyness inside too

He could just not relate

But 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 to 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 to late to blame

It on a simple twist of fate
