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 wishin' 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 would tell. Just like a paper-back novel The kind that drug stores sell. When you reach the part Where the heartaches come The hero would be me And heroes often fail And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too 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 plays the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me. But for now, love, lets 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 wishin' well In a castle dark, or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet And stories always have an end. If you read between the line You know I'm just trying to understand The feelings that you lack 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 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
