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
