If You Could Read My Mind

In the style of

Gordon Lightfoot

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 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
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 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 too 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 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

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 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
