Stars On 45 If You Could Read My Mind
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. Then you reached 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 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.
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. But stories always end, And if you read between the lines, You´d know that I´m just tryin´ to understand The feelin´s 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 feelin´s gone And I just can´t get it back!
