If You Could Read My Mind
1970
When you reach the part where the heartaches With chains upon my feet the story always ends Come the hero would be me If I could read your mind love Enter number two, a movie queen Just like an old time movie But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back I don't know where we went wrong And I've got to say that I just don't get it You know that ghost is me Who gets burned in a three way script To play the scene of bringing I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it If you could read my mind love Songwriter: Gordon Lightfoot All the good things out in me I don't know where we went wrong Because the endings just to hard to take Just like a paperback novel If you could read my mind love I'd walk away like a movie star What a tale my thoughts could tell The feeling that you left But for now love let's be real And you won't read that book again But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back With chains upon my feet Just like an old time movie Publisher: EARLY MORNING PRODUCTIONS LTD About a ghost from a wishing well The kind the drugstore sells What a tale my thoughts could tell And I will never be set free Heroes often fail You'll know that I'm just trying to understand I never thought I could act this way If you read between the lines In a castle dark or a fortress strong As long as I'm a ghost, you can see In a castle dark or a fortress strong About a ghost from a wishin' well What a tale your thoughts could tell
