if you could read my mind - Song Lyrics

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 
about 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 drugstore sells.
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 endings just to 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 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 feelings 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 about a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong 
with chains upon my feet the story always ends.
And if you read between the lines 
you'll know that I'm just trying to understand
the feeling that you left.

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 feelings gone 
and I just can't get it back.
