Karaoke If You Could Read My Mind 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 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 the kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come the hero would be me but heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again because the ending's just to 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 of 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 upon my feet but the story 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 that
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
