Simple twist of fate (bob dylan cover)

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark,
She looked at him and she felt a spark tingle to her bones.
It was then that she felt alone and wished that she'd gone straight
And not succumbed to a simple twist of fate.

They walked along by the old canal.
They were confused, I remember so well.
They stopped into a strange hotel with neons burnin' bright.
They felt the heat of the night and it hit 'em like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate.

A saxophone somewhere far off played
As they were walkin' down by the arcade.
As the light burned through the beat-up shade and he was wakin' up,
She got the coin into the cup.
Another blind man at the gate.
You see, it's just another simple twist of fate.

He woke up and the room was bare.
He didn't see her anywhere.
He told himself he didn't care, and the window's open wide.
Felt this emptiness inside to which he could not relateWell, brought on by this simple twist of fate.

She hears the ticking of the clock.
She walks around with a parrot that talks.
He hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in.
Maybe she'll pick him out again, and how long must he wait?
Brought on by simple twist of fate...

People think that it's a sin
To know and feel too much within.
I still believe he was my twin, but I lost the ring.
He was born insane, and I was born too late.
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
