Transpose
Intro
Verse 1
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a
spark
Tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone
straight
And watched out for a simple
twist of fate
Verse 2
They walked along by the old
canal
A little confused, I remember
well
And stopped into a strange hotel
With a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of
fate
Verse 3
A saxophone someplace far off
played
As she was walking on by the
arcade
As the light bust through a
beat-up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup
Of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about his simple
twist of fate

Verse 4
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't 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
Verse 5
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 for a simple twist
of fate
Verse 6
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
