Simple Twist Of Fate (Live at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, September 2, 1989) Jerry Garcia Band

[Verse 1]
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
That was then he felt alone, and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for that simple twist of fate

[Verse 2]
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
They checked into a cheap hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the hеat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with that simplе twist of fate

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself that he didn't care, through the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Bringing on simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
A saxophone somewhere far off played
As she walks along the arcade
The beamed to a beat-up shade back where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about that twist of fate
