If You Could Read My Mind

Lightfoot Gordon

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't see.





If I could read your mind love


What a tale your thoughts could tell


Just like a paperback novel


The kind that drugstores sell


When you reach the part where the heartaches come


The hero would be me


But heroes often fail


And you won't read that book again


Because ending's just too hard to take.





I never thought I could act 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.





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


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.lyrics here"
