  • (Verse 1)
    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 you can't see
     
    (Verse 2)
  • If I could read your mind, love
    What a tale your thoughts could tell
    Just like a paperback novel
  • The kind that drugstores sell
    When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    The hero would be me
  • And heroes often fail
    And you won't read that book again
    Because the ending's just too hard to take
  •  
    (Middle section)
    I'd walk away like a movie star
  • Who gets burned in a three way script
    And 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 feeling's gone
  • And I just can't get it back
     
    (Verse 3...ends with the music in middle section)
  • 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
  • The story always ends
    I never knew 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
  • PLAY TOO ..
