If You Could Read My Mind
Gordon Lightfoot
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 wishing 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 see.
If I could read your mind love,
What a tale my 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
The hero often fails
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take.
I walk away like a movie star
That gets burned in a three way script,
enter number 2.
A movie queen that played the part
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now let's be real
I never thought I could act 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 feelings 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 wishing well
In a castle dark, or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
The story always ends
But if you read between the lines
Just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack.
I never thought I could act 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 feelings gone and
I just can't get it back.
