Lyric If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind, love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And i will never be set free
As long as i m a ghost that you can t see.
If i could read your mind, love,
What a tale your thoughts could tell,
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won t read that book again
Because the ending s just too hard to take.

I d walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let s be real
I never thought i could feel this way
And i ve got to say that i just don t get it
I don t know where we went wrong
But the feeling s gone
And i just can t get it back.

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You ll know that i m just tryin to understand
The feelin s that you lack
I never thought i could feel this way
And i ve got to say that i just don t get it
I don t know where we went wrong
But the feelin s gone
And i just can t get it back.
