If You Could Read My Mind (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 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
When you reach the part Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail

And If you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to
understand
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say
That I just don't get
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
