| 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 wishing well
 | 
| In a castle dark or a fortress strong
 | 
| With chains upon my feet
 | 
| You know that ghost is me
 | 
| 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, yeah
 | 
| If you could read your mind love
 | 
| What a tale my thoughts would tell
 | 
| Just like a paperback novel
 | 
| The kind that drugstores sell
 | 
| When you reach the part where the heartache comes
 | 
| The hero would be you
 | 
| Heroes often fail
 | 
| 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
 | 
| If you could read my mind
 | 
| If you could
 | 
| If you could
 | 
| 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 wishing well
 | 
| If you could read my mind love
 | 
| What a tale my thoughts would tell
 | 
| Just like a paperback novel
 | 
| The kind that drugstores sell
 | 
| And when you reach the part where the heartache comes
 |

 |
