Simple Twist Of Fate Lyrics - Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan

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. 

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 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 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.
