If You Could Read My Mind |
| If you could read my mind love |
| What a tale my thoughts would 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 would tell |
| Just like a paper-back novel |
| The kind the drug store sells |
| When you reach the part |
| Where the heartaches come the hero would be me |
| Heroes often fail |
| You won’t read that book again |
| Because the endings just too hard to take |
| I 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 |
| 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 would 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 |
| Stories have to end |
| And if you read between the lines |
| You’ll know that I’m just trying to understand |
| The feelings that you lack |
| I never thought I could act this way |
| 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 |
| Never thought I could act this way (Oooh) |
| I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it (Oooh) |
| I don’t know where we went wrong (Oooh) |
| But the feelings gone and I just can’t get it back (Oooh) |
| Ending (Piano and Acoustic Guitar) |
