If You Could Read My Mind |
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’t see. |
If I could read your mind, love, |
What a tale your thoughts could tell. |
Just like a paperback novel, |
The kind the drugstores sell. |
When you reached 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 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, |
'Bout a ghost from a wishing 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! |
