If You Could Read My Mind-Gordon Lightfoot

[00:09.41]If you could read my mind, love, [00:13.03]What a tale my thoughts could tell. [00:16.90]Just like an old time movie, [00:20.79]'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. [00:24.74]In a castle dark or a fortress strong, [00:29.45]With chains upon my feet. [00:33.47]You know that ghost is me. [00:37.66]And I will never be set free [00:41.53]As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. [00:50.38]If I could read your mind, love, [00:53.84]What a tale your thoughts could tell. [00:57.72]Just like a paperback novel, [01:01.93]The kind the drugstores sell. [01:05.60]When you reached the part where the heartaches come, [01:10.70]The hero would be me. [01:14.74]But heroes often fail, [01:18.63]And you won't read that book again [01:22.29]Because the ending's just too hard to take! [01:42.77]I'd walk away like a movie star [01:47.66]Who gets burned in a three way script. [01:51.96]Enter number two: [01:55.69]A movie queen to play the scene [01:59.41]Of bringing all the good things out in me. [02:05.10]But for now, love, let's be real; [02:09.61]I never thought I could have this way [02:12.96]And I've got to say that I just don't get it. [02:17.76]I don't know where we went wrong, [02:20.88]But the feeling's gone [02:22.89]And I just can't get it back. [02:33.87]If you could read my mind, love, [02:37.53]What a tale my thoughts could tell. [02:41.92]Just like an old time movie, [02:45.28]'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. [02:49.35]In a castle dark or a fortress strong. [02:54.00]With chains upon my feet. [02:58.59]But stories always end, [03:02.56]And if you read between the lines, [03:07.57]You'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand [03:12.41]The feelin's that you lack. [03:16.23]I never thought I could feel this way [03:20.99]And I've got to say that I just don't get it. [03:24.48]I don't know where we went wrong, [03:27.26]But the feelin's gone [03:29.27]And I just can't get it back!
