if you could read my mind

Lyrics

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 see, if i could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell, just like a paperback novel, that kind the drugstores sell, when you reach the part, where the heartaches come, the hero would be me, the 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 spurned in a three way script, ends up number two, the movie queen to play the scene, a bringing all the good things out in me, but for now, love, let's be real, i never thought i could feel this way, and i 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 movies, 'bout a ghost from a wishing well, in a castle dark or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet, stories always end, and if you read between the lines, you know that i'm just trying to understand, the feelings that you lack, i've 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
