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 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 could tell

 

 

Just like a paperback novel

 

 


The kind the drugstore sells

 

 

When you reach the part where the heartaches come

 

 

 

The hero would be me

 

 


But heroes often fail

 

 

You won't read that book again

 

 

Because the endings just too hard to take

 

 

 

 

 

 

music:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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, 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 feelin'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

 

 

But stories always end

 

 

And if you read between the lines

 

 

You'll know that I'm just tryin to understand

 

 

The feelin's that you lack

 

 

I never thought I could feel this way

 

 

And Ive got to say that I just don't get it

 

 

I don't know where we went wrong

 

 

But the feelin's gone

 

 

And I just can't get it back
