Lyrics Simple Twist of Fate - Bob Dylan

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 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 th night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fat
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
