Natalie

Natalie.
Walking beside me on Spadina Avenue.
I'm so happy now I'm here with you.
Natalie don't forget, I may be leaving but I'm not gone yet.
The silent sun, sets upon these city streets we walk along
So please don't cry anymore.

And the rain falls like a poem
So real, I know what it's trying to say
And your tears are like the autumn
Do you need me to go? Or do you want me to stay?

Natalie
With dancing eyes, I just want to be with you
The room is spinning, twisting circles and you know this to be true.
I love the way you look at me. I love the way you look.
My mind is filled with the poems from your poetry book.

And the rain falls slow and heavy
This is the last time I'm walking away.
Your tears fall like the autumn
Please don't make me go. You know I want to stay.

Natalie.
Walk slowly with me down Spadina Avenue.
There's nowhere I'd rather be than here with you.
Natalie don't regret, a love like this is hard to get
The silent moon, shines through your room.
The city dreams, I leave too soon.
There's no need to cry anymore

And the rain falls like a poem
So real, I know what it's trying to say
And your tears are like the autumn
Do you need me to go? Or do you want me to stay?
