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
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 see

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drug stores 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 left
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 feelings gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
