They walked along by the old canal A little confused, i remember well An' stopped into a strange hotel With a neon burnin' bright He felt the heat of the night Hit him like a freight train Movin' with a simple twist of fate. A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walkin' on 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 another blind man at the gate An' 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. He hears the tickin' of the clocks An' walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks Where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll pick him out again How long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate. People tell me it's a sin To know an' feel too much within I still believe she was my twin But i lost the ring She was born in spring But i was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

The World Of John Hammond, WTTW-TV Studio, Chicago IL - 10.sep.1975 They sat together in the park As the evenin' sky grew dark She looked at him an' he felt a spark Tingle to his bones 'Twas then he felt alone An' wished that he'd gone straight An' watched out for a simple twist of fate.

28 Oct 1975 THE ROLLING THUNDER REVUE:     THE LIVE 1975 RECORDINGS #2

Mahjong Parlor, Falmouth MA - 28.oct.1975 They sat together in the park As the evening sky got dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to her bones 'Twas then he felt alone An' wished 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 An' stopped into a strange hotel With the neon burnin' bright He felt the heat of the night Hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate. A clarinette some place played As she was walking on by the arcade She heard the melody rise and fade The sun was comin' up She dropped a coin into the cup Of a blind man at the gate And forgot all about a simple twist of fate. He woke up, she was gone He didn't see nothin' but the dawn He walked across the room, put his clothes back on Pushed over, 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 walks alone through the city blocks Hears the tickin' of the clocks Hunts her by the waterfront docks Where the sailors all come in Maybe he'll see 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 and feel too much at any one time She should have caught me in my prime She would have stayed with me 'Stead of goin' off to sea And leavin' me to meditate Upon a simple twist of fate.

He woke up, she was gone He didn't see nothin' but the dawn He got out of bed and put his clothes 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.

They walked along by the old canal A little confused, i remember well Stopped into a renovated hotel With the neon burning bright She felt the heat of the night Hit her like a freight train Movin' with a simple twist of fate. A [saxophone] [softly / some place / somewhere] played She was walking on by the arcade She heard the melody rise and fade The sun was comin' 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 didn't see nothin' but the dawn [ Got out of bed and put his clothes back on / He got out of bed and screwed his head back on ] Pushed back the blinds Found a note she'd left behind [To which / But] he could not concentrate On anything 'cept a simple twist of fate. He hears the tickin' of the clock And walks alone to the city blocks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks Where the sailors all [roll / come] in Maybe he'll [spot / see] her once again How long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate.

Simple Twist Of Fate 7

Parc de Sceaux, Paris - 1.jul.1984 They sat together in the park As the evening sky got dark She looked at him and felt a spark Tingle to her bone T'was then she felt alone And wished that she'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate. They walked along by the old canal Down waterfront street, at the tolling bell Stopped into the Grand Hotel Where the desk clerks dressed in white With a face as black as night He said "Check out time at eight" All a part of a simple twist of fate. He woke up, you know the room was thick Something there inside was makin' him sick He heard her boot heels in the hallway click The sun was coming up She dropped a coin into the cup Of a blind man at the gate And forgot about that simple twist of fate. Head out to my baby in the rain and snow [Didn't leave ...] when those chilly winds blow He said "I taught you all you know Now, don't bother me no more. You know where to find the door Go on, before it's too late And forget about that simple twist of fate." He's walking down through the city streets, Looking into the eyes of the people he meets And late in time, you know, he tries and greets He waited more I can do He said "I'm leaving my heart with you Take good care of it, be on our freight" All about that simple twist of fate. People tell me it's a crime To remember her for too long of a time She should have caught me in my prime She would 've stayed with me Instead of going' back off to sea And leavin' me to meditate All on that simple twist of fate.
