    Lyrics:
    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' on by the arcade
    As the light burst through a beat-up shade
    Where he was waking 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?
    One more time, 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

    This song "hits me like a freight train".
    Met a girl and we immediately got along very well. We were so similar, and spent our first (and only) date cuddling on the rear bench of my chevy, and later on some stairs outside. When she left, we hugged, I gave her a little kiss on the cheek, which she responded by kissing me on the mouth.
    We still chatted a lot, and wanted to meet up again, but she suddenly took more time to respond and became cold.
    It took her a while to tell me the truth, she was actually really into me, but she has a pretty sad life. Very strict (and, in my opinion) abusive parents, depression, other problems... and a little age gap that is no big deal where I live, but still too much for us now.
    I know I will never meet anyone like her, and she knows she will never meet anyone like me. We just belong together... but it just didn't work out.
    Had we met 1 or 2 years later, we would probably be together now.
    I can't get her out of my mind, I haven't fully written her off, but it's not looking good for us.

      Regardless, this is one of my favorite love songs. What's your perception of the subject matter, internet strangers?

    The way he's able to paint such a vivid picture with this song really blows me away. Before I listened to this album, I'd heard the big 3 albums from the 60's, which are great, but the esoteric metaphors in the lyrics date them a little bit in my opinion. When I heard this song, I really started to appreciate Dylan as a songwriter in the way everyone else does it seems. Everytime this one comes on, I'm reminded exactly what it feels like to wake up on a beautiful morning, smell the fresh air, and know that you'll never get back what you had the night before, no matter how hard you try. It breaks my heart every time

    Pretty crazy when you listen to Dylan sing about relationships, and when you’re young/in your twenties or whatever, it seems like he’s coming from a place of wisdom earned in time. Like he is 70 years old or something. His voice doesn’t help. Then all of a sudden you wake up in your mid thirties, going through similar shit and are relating to the lyrics on a completely different level. It’s no longer a passing fancy it all of a sudden becomes real. Thank you Bob.

    6 years ago I met a girl from another country at a convention that I attended every year. I hopelessly fell in love with her, which I was not prepared for. We hit it off, but after a couple months, things fizzled out when I failed to make a move. Our distance from each other did not help either. For years I fell in and out of love with her time and time again, always getting so close to sharing my feelings, but nothing ever came of it.
    We remain to be good friends, but she's happy now with someone else, and I continue to be in a state of limbo, trying to break free and live life to the fullest again, waiting for another simple twist of fate.

      Dylan doesn't have a great voice, but I don't believe having a great voice makes one a great singer. I love Dylan's voice and especially his vocal phrasing (i.e. "freeeeeeeeight.... train"). Some of my other favorite singers who arguably don't have great voices include: Paul Westerberg, Joe Strummer, Kurt Cobain, Pete Doherty, Jake Bugg, and Bon Scott. I prefer my singers to convey emotion rather than a wide vocal range and perfect pitch. That being said, with Chris Cornell and Roger Daltrey you get both. As a side note, if you haven't seen "Rolling Thunder" on Netflix you owe it to yourself to watch it. Cheers.

    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 alone by the old canal.
    A little confused, I remember well,
    And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning 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 walking on by the arcade
    As the light bust through a beat up shade
    Where he was waking 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
    One more time 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.

It was Bob Dylan's Birthday on May 24, day b-r my beloved brother's... it began when I was probably 5, & my big sis sang Blowin' in the Wind to my baby sis & me... Then, in '78, as a frosh in H School, my Creative Writing teacher told us about Blood on the Tracks, & Chicago's coolest Rock station, WXRT played numerous Dylan, before I got my own albums. It's not just the words or music, it's storytelling @ it's most poignant, beautiful, & so many songs still "get me" every time!

    "The age of Adaline" brought me here, which I recently watched coincidentally. It's a great song. I was really surprised after having listened to the whole song here on YT. So far I was only interested in Dylan's work, which he did in the 1960s, especially when he became "electric". The reason why I like this song is probably that it sounds more like a leftover fom the sixties than a song from the seventies. Nevertheless the "Blood on the tracks" album from 1975 seems to be a very interesting album .👍
