Simple Twist Of Fate Lyrics - Dylanesque - Bryan Ferry

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
