Simple Twist Of Fate

Lyrics: Bob Dylan
Music: Bob Dylan

They sat together in the dark
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 forgot about that simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate

A saxophone someplace quietly played
As she was walkin' by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' 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 and she was gone
He couldn't see nothing but the dawn
Got up and put his suit back on and pushed back the blind
Found a note she'd left behind but just could not relate
Oh nothing except that simple twist of fate

People tell me it's a sin
To remember her for too long
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
She was born in the spring, but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
