Simple Twist Of Fate (Bob Dylan Cover) Songtext

then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight

watch out for the simple twist of fate



walked along by the old canal

a little confused

i remember well

stopped into a strange hotel

with neon burning bright

felt the heat of the night

like a freight train
moving with a simple twist of fate



saxophones someplace far off play

she was walking on by the arcade

as the light bust through a beat up shade

where he was waking up

she drops the coin into the cup

of a blind man at the gate

forgot about a simple twist of fate



he woke up

room was bare

he didn't see her anywhere

he told himself he didn't care

whisked the window open wide

felt the emptiness inside

to which he could just 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 sailors all come in

maybe she'll pick him out again

how long must he wait

one more time before a simple twist fate



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
