Simple Twist Of Fate

Simple Twist Of Fate

They sat together in the park

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 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 far off 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, 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 ticking of the clocks

And 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

Once more for a simple twist of fate

/~~~

People tell me it’s a sin

To know and 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

回眸一瞥的命运

在公园里,他们一起坐着

正当夜幕渐渐降临

她的一瞥令他感到骨头上火花般的刺痛

唤起他曾经孤独一人,真希望就此一走了之

当心啊,这回眸一瞥的命运

/~~~

在古老运河畔,他们并肩行走

那是一丝丝困扰,我记忆犹新

逗留在一家诡异的旅馆,门前的霓虹灯闪烁耀眼

他感到夜色的热浪拍击着自己,就像一列列货运车

满载着,这回眸一瞥的命运

/~~~

远方某地方,传来一阵萨克斯风

正当她穿过拱廊

正当一束光线穿过破旧不堪的幕帘,他被唤醒

她将一枚硬币丢进了门前那个盲人的杯中

忘记吧,这回眸一瞥的命运

/~~~

他醒了,房间空空荡荡

她已无处可寻

他告诉自己他无所谓,将窗户蓦地推开

一阵空虚充斥着内心,他已毫无头绪

来自于,这回眸一瞥的命运

/~~~

耳边响起钟塔的滴嗒声

带着一只滔滔不绝的鹦鹉,他走着

寻她来到滨水区的码头,那里水手进进出出

也许她会再次挑选他,但要等待多久

再一次,这回眸一瞥的命运

/~~~

人们对我说,这是罪恶

知晓太多,沦陷太深

我仍然相信她是我的孪生,只是我弄丢了戒指

她在春天诞生,而我出生太迟

只能怪,这回眸一瞥的命运
