And if she came to meet me I can't believe it's true she smiles so discreetly reminding me of you
It's autumn and it's raining an ordinary day she wears a silver raincoat and I'm dressed all in grey
And I could take her dancing but I don't like to dance My life reads like a book now a harlequin romance The edges hold together the center falls flat I can't blame it on the weather my heart's not an acrobat
We're walking arm in arm now her silver on my grey I'm noticing her charm now but I don't know what to say
She wants to look inside me she wants to see within she's standing there beside me but I won't let her in
And I could take her dancing but I don't like to dance My life reads like a book now a harlequin romance The edges hold together the center falls flat I can't blame it on the weather my heart's not an acrobat
The autumn leaves are falling the streets are paved with gold From time to time I hear you calling still I do as I am told
And if she came to meet me I can't believe it's true She smiles so discreetly and I try not to think of you
And I could take her dancing but I don't like to dance But if I don't ask her now I might nog have another chance The edges hold together the center falls flat Can't blame it ont he weather my heart's not an acrobat
