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  wishin  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  you  cant  see
If  I  could  read  your  mind  love
What  a  tale  your  thoughts  could  tell
Just  like  a  paperback  novel
The  kind  the  drugstore  sell
When  you  reach  the  part
Where  the  heartaches  come
The  hero  would  be  me
Heroes  often  fail
And  you  won't  read  that  book  again
Because  the  ending  just  too  hard  to  take
I'd  walk  away  like  a  movie  star
Who  gets  burned  in  a  freeway  script
Enter  number  two
A  movie  queen  to  play  the  scene
Of  bringing  all  the  good  things  out  in  me
But  for  now  love  lets  be  real
I  never  thought  I  could  act  this  way
And  Ive  got  to  say  that  I  just  dont  get  it
I  don't  know  where  we  went  wrong
But  the  feelins  gone  and  I  just  cant  get  it  back
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  wishin  well
In  a  castle  dark  or  a  fortress  strong
With  chains  upon  my  feet
The  story  always  ends
And  if  you  read  between  the  lines
You'll  know  that  I'm  just  tryin  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  it
I  don't  know  where  we  went  wrong
But  the  feelins  gone  and  I  just  cant  get  it  back
