(g. lightfoot) campbell connelly & co. If you could read my mind, love

What a tale my thoughts would tell

Just like an old-time movie

Out 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 would tell

Just like a paperback novel

That kind the drugstores sell

When you reach the part

Where the heartache comes

The hero would be me

The heroes often fail

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 spurned in a three-way script

Enter number two

The movie queen to play the scene

And bringing all the good things out in me

But for now, love, let's be real Chorus:

I never thought I could feel this way

And I 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 would 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

Stories always end

And if you read between the lines

You know that I'm just trying to understand

The feelings that you lack Chorus If you could read my mind, love...
