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
