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
Then you reached the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heros often fail

And you won't read that book again
Because the ending 's just too hard to take

I walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a threeway script
Enter number two
A movie king to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out of me
But for now, love, let's be real
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 feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
