Lyrics
They sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark
They shared a moment in the park as night fell.
She looked at him he felt a spark tingle to his bones
A connection sparked between them, creating a tingling sensation.
It was when he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
Feeling alone, he regretted not choosing a different path in life.
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
The narrative hints at an unforeseen, pivotal event (simple twist of fate).
They walked down by the old canal a little confused I remember well
They walked by a canal, both feeling a bit confused.
And then they stopped in a strange hotel with the neon burning bright
They entered a strange hotel with bright neon lights.
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
The intensity of the night struck him profoundly.
And moving with a simple twist of fate
A significant change occurred with a simple twist of fate.
Saxophone some place nearby played she was walking on by at the arcade
A saxophone played nearby as she walked by an arcade.
As a light burst through a bead of shade
Light broke through a shaded area.
But as he was waking she dropped a coin into a cup of a blind man
She dropped a coin into a blind man's cup as he woke up.
That became and both got a bout of a simple twist of fate
Both experienced an unexpected turn of events.
He woke up and the room was bear, he didn't see he anywhere
He woke up alone in a bare room, feeling indifferent.
He told himself he didn't care, he pushed the window open wide
He opened the window, feeling an inner emptiness.
He felt an emptiness inside too
A sense of detachment lingered.
He could just not relate but by a simple twist of fate
He couldn't relate to the situation due to a twist of fate.
He hears the ticking of the clocks small waves whisper to the rocks
The ticking of clocks and waves whispering symbolize the passage of time.
He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
He searches for her by the waterfront docks.
Where the sailors all come in perhaps he'll see her once again
Hoping to see her again where sailors arrive.
How long must he wait once more for a simple twist of fate
The longing continues as he waits for another twist of fate.
People tell me it's a crime to feel to much at any one time
Others warn against feeling too much at once.
All it cost me was a dime but the bells refuse to ring
A personal cost is mentioned, but the emotional response is unfulfilled.
He was born in the spring but I was born to late to blame
Contrasts in birth timing may impact the ability to assign blame.
It on a simple twist of fate
Despite external opinions, fate remains a complex force.
