Karaoké If You Could Read My Mind Gordon Lightfoot

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 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 the 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 the ending's just too hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star

Who gets burned in a three way script enter number two

A movie queen to play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me

But for now, Love let's be real

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 'bout a ghost from a wishing well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet

The stories always end

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 that

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
