If You Could Read My Mind (gordon Lightfoot) Lyrics

If You Could Read My Mind (gordon Lightfoot) lyrics

If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an onld 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

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 lack

I never
thought I could feel this way

And I've got to say

That I just don't
get

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
