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 darkor 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 can't see
lfl could read
your mind love

What a tale your thoughts
could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells

When you reach the part
where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The heroes often fade
and you won't read that
book again
Because the ending's just
too hard to take
I 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 that
I could act thisway

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 wishin' well
In a castle dark or a
fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
And 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
