They sat together in the park As the evening sky be dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones, it was then he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straight Watch out for a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old canal Was so confused, I remember well Stopped into a strange hotel With a neon burning bright He felt the heat of the night It hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone someplace far off played She is walking under the arcade 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 Forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up and the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere He told himself that 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 He hears a ticking of the clock 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 Oh, how long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate People tell me it's a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin But God, I lost the ring, she was born in spring But I was born too late Blame it on the simple twist of fate

They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle in his bones It was then he felt alone and wished he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked alone 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 A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walking on by the arcade As the light busts 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 foot about a simple twist of fate 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 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 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

Lost love in the desert Lost love on the sea If you can put it behind you But it's still beyond me 'Cause hearts break in the summer And they meet me in the spring Broken hearts all around me But I don't feel a thing Lost love on the highway Lost love on the phone Lost love with a suitcase Heading back home Where hearts break in the summer When they meet in the spring Mines still wrapped inside me But I don't feel a thing You're my lost love, I can't see That you're coming back for me You're the travel I can't find And it's only a matter of time Should've taken it all so hard Should've taken it all so hard You My lost love ...
