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

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
