If you could read my mind (by 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 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 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 feelin'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
|
