1
If you could read my mind, love,
2
What a tale my thoughts could tell
3
Just like an old time movie
4
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
5
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
6
With chains upon my feet
7
You know that ghost is me
8
And I will never be set free
9
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
10
If I could read your mind, love,
11
What a tale your thoughts could tell,
12
Just like a paperback novel
13
The kind that drugstores sell
14
When you reach the part
15
Where the heartaches come
16
The hero would be me
17
But heroes often fail
18
And you won't read that book again
19
Because the ending's just too hard to take.
20
I'd walk away like a movie star
21
Who gets burned in a three way script
22
Enter number two
23
A movie queen to play the scene
24
Of bringing all the good things out in me
25
But for now love, let's be real
26
I never thought I could feel this way
27
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
28
I don't know where we went wrong
29
But the feeling's gone
30
And I just can't get it back.
31
If you could read my mind love
32
What a tale my thoughts could tell
33
Just like an old time movie
34
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
35
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
36
With chains upon my feet
37
But stories always end
38
And if you read between the lines
39
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
40
The feelin's that you lack
41
I never thought I could feel this way
42
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
43
I don't know where we went wrong
44
But the feelin's gone
45
And I just can't get it back.
