But God, I lost the ring, she was born in spring
One more time for a simple twist of fate
Pushed the window open wide
And walks along with a parrot that talks
And wished that he'd gone straight
With a neon burning bright
They walked along by the old canal
He didn't see her anywhere
People tell me it's a sin
Moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxophone someplace far off played
Where the sailors all come in
To know and feel too much within
Stopped into a strange hotel
He told himself that he didn't care
Was so confused, I remember well
He woke up and the room was bare
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
He hears a ticking of the clock
I still believe she was my twin
Forgot about a simple twist of fate
But I was born too late
Where he was waking up
It hit him like a freight train
The light bust through a beat-up shade
She is walking under the arcade
She looked at him and he felt a spark
To which he just could not relate
She dropped a coin into the cup
Felt an emptiness inside
Tingle to his bones, it was then he felt alone
Watch out for a simple twist of fate
Of a blind man at the gate
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
He felt the heat of the night
Maybe she'll pick him out again
Oh, how long must he wait
