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't see.


If I could read your mind
love


What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paper back novel


The kind the drugstores sell.
Then you reached the part

Where the heartaches come

The hero would be me.

But heros 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 threeway script.
Enter number two:
A movie queen to play the scene

Of bringing all the good things out of me.
But for now love let's be real;
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.


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 stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'd 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!
