Title: If you could read my mind Artist: Gordon Lightfoot Composer: 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 wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains up on my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as I�m a ghost 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 the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come The hero would be me 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 off 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 up on my feet Stories always 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 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
