Simple Twist Of Fate Lyrics - Joan Baez

They sat together 

In the park 

As the evening sky grew dark 

She looked at him 

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 down by the old canal 

Got a little confused, I remember well 

And then they stopped 

In a strange hotel 

With the neon burning bright 

He felt the heat of night 

Hit him like a freight train 

And moving with a simple twist of fate

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Saxophone some place nearby played 

She was walking on by the arcade 

As a light burst through a beat up shade 

But he was waking up 

She dropped a coin into a cup 

Of a blind man at the gate 

And forgot about a 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 

He pushed the window 

Open wide 

He felt an 

Emptiness inside 

To which he just could not relate 

Brought on by a simple twist of fate 

Photos 

He hears the ticking of the clocks 

Small waves whisper to the rocks 

He hunts her down 

By the waterfront docks 

Where the sailors all come in 

Perhaps he'll see her once again 

How long must he wait 

Once more 

For a simple 

Twist of fate 

People tell me it's a crime 

To feel too much 

At any one time 

All it cost me was a dime 

But the bells refuse to ring 

He was born in the spring 

But I was born too late 

To blame it on 

A simple twist of fate
