作词 : Dylan
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
'Twas then she felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a 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 softly played
As she was walkin' on by the arcade
She heard a melody rise and fade
The sun was coming 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, she was gone
He didn't see nothing but the dawn
He got out of bed and put his shoes back on
Pushed back the blinds
Found a note she'd left behind
To which he just could not relate
All about a simple twist of fate.
He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks alone through the city blocks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailers all roll in
Maybe he'll spot her once again
How long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate
People tell me it's a crime
To know to much for too long a time
She should have caught me in my prime
She would have stayed with me
'Stead of going off to sea
And leaving me to meditate
Upon that simple twist of fate
