If You Could Read My Mind - Don Williams

作词：Gordon Lightfoot

作曲：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 wishin 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 you cant see

If I could read your mind love

What a tale your thoughts could tell

Just like a paperback novel

The kind the drugstore sell

When you reach the part

Where the heartaches come

The hero would be me

Heroes often fail

And you won't need that book again

Because the endings just too hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star

Who gets burned in a freeway script

Enter number two

A movie queen to play the scene

Of bringing all the good things out in me

But for now love lets be real

I never thought I could act this way

And Ive got to say that I just dont get it

I don't know where we went wrong

But the feelins gone and I just cant 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 wishin well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet

The story always ends

And if you read between the lines

You'll know that I'm just tryin to understand

The feelings 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 feelins gone and I just cant get it back
