Lyrics

[00:08.90] If you could read my mind love
[00:12.28] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[00:16.13] Just like an old time movie
[00:19.48] About a ghost from a wishing well
[00:23.17] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[00:28.08] With chains upon my feet
[00:31.74] You know that ghost is me
[00:35.36] And I will never be set free
[00:39.05] As long as I'm a ghost you can see
[00:50.87] If I could read your mind love
[00:54.21] What a tale your thoughts could tell
[00:58.24] Just like a paperback novel
[01:01.92] The kind the drugstore sells
[01:05.45] When you reach the part where the heartaches starts
[01:11.33] The hero could be me
[01:13.78] But heroes often fail
[01:17.62] And you won't read that book again
[01:21.35] Because the ending's just too hard to take
[01:36.55] And I walk away like a movie star
[01:40.78] Who gets burned in a three way script
[01:45.32] Enter number two, a movie queen
[01:50.80] To play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me
[01:57.64] But for now love let's be real
[02:01.52] I never thought I could be use this way
[02:05.52] And I've got to say that I just don't get it
[02:09.20] I don't know where we went wrong
[02:11.96] But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
[02:24.36] If you could read my mind love
[02:27.74] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[02:31.78] Just like an old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well
[02:38.82] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[02:43.40] With chains upon my feet
[02:47.33] The story always ends
[02:50.99] And if you read between the lines
[02:54.38] You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
[03:00.12] The feeling that you left
[03:03.78] I never knew I feel this way
[03:07.23] And I've got to say that I just don't get it
[03:11.58] I don't know where we went wrong
[03:14.43] But the feeling's gone
[03:18.31] And I just can't get it back
[03:42.03]
