E *
they sat together in the park
e’
as the evening sky grew dark ,
e”
she looked at him and he felt a spark
F
tingle to his bones .
f’
’twas then he felt alone
E * e’ A
and wished that he’d gone straight
E a’ E
and watched out for a simple twist of fate .
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 .
a saxophone someplace 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 his simple twist of fate .
– harmonica solo –
( same progression )
he woke up , the room was bare
he didnt see her anywhere .
he told himself he didnt 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 .
he hears the ticking of the clocks
and walks along with a parrot that talks ,
hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in .
maybe shell pick him out again , how long must he wait
once more for a simple twist of fate .
people tell me its 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 .
[ outro is the same , with harmonica ]
