GORDON LIGHTFOOT - If You Could Read My Mind lyrics
rate meIf you could read my mind<br><br>If you could read my mind love<br>What a tale my thoughts could tell<br>Just like an old time movie<br>'bout a ghost from a wishin' well<br>In a castle dark or a fortress strong<br>With chains upon my feet<br>You know that ghost is me<br>And I will never be set free<br>As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see<br>If I could read your mind love<br>What a tale your thoughts could tell<br>Just like a paperback novel<br>The kind that drugstores sell<br>When you reach the part where the heartaches come<br>The hero would be me<br>But heroes often fail<br>And you won't read that book again<br>Because the ending's just too hard to take<br><br>I'd walk away like a movie star<br>Who gets burned in a three way script<br>Enter number two<br>A movie queen to play the scene<br>Of bringing all the good things out in me<br>But for now love, let's be real<br>* I never thought I could act this way *<br>And I've got to say that I just don't get it<br>I don't know where we went wrong<br>But the feelin's gone<br>And I just can't get it back<br><br>If you could read my mind love<br>What a tale my thoughts could tell<br>Just like an old time movie<br>'bout a ghost from a wishin' well<br>In a castle dark or a fortress strong<br>With chains upon my feet<br>But stories always end<br>And if you read between the lines<br>You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand<br>The feelin's that you lack<br>I never thought I could feel this way<br>And I've got to say that I just to get it<br>I don't know where we went wrong<br>But the feelin's gone<br>And I just can't get it back
