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
You know that ghost is me
And I won't ever be set free
If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell,
just like a paper -back novel, a kind the drugstore sells.
where the heartaches come
And you won't read that book again because the
ending is just too hard to tell
I walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three -way script
In turn number two, a movie queen
To play the scene of bringing all the good
let's be real I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I
I don't know where we went wrong
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
And if you read between the lines,
you'll know that I'm just trying to understand the feelings that you've got
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 feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back
