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 not have another chance The edges hold together The center falls flat Can't blame it on the weather My heart's not an acrobat
