Dancing
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
