| 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 will never be set free
|
| As long as I’m a ghost you can see
|
| If I could read your mind love
|
| What a tale your thoughts could tell
|
| Just like a paperback novel
|
| The kind the drugstore sells
|
| When you reach the part where the heartaches come
|
| Come the hero would be me
|
| Heroes often fail
|
| And you won’t read that book again
|
| Because the ending’s just to 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 knew I 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
|
| 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
|
| The story always ends
|
| And if you read between the lines
|
| You’ll know that I’m just trying to understand
|
| The feeling that you left
|
| I never knew I 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 |
