If you could read my mind, love,
what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie about
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 won't ever 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 paper -back novel, a kind the drugstore sells.
When you reach the path
where the heartaches come
The hero would be me,
but heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again because the
ending is just too hard to tell
I walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three -way script
In turn 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 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 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
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark
Or a fort ress strong
With chains upon my feet
Stories always end
And if you read between the lines,
you'll know that I'm just trying to understand the feelings that you've got
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
