If You Could Read My Mind

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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, yea

[Verse 3]
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that the drug stores sell
When you reach the part
Well the hurry comes
The evil would be you
Heroes often fell

[Verse 4]
I never thought I'd 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

[Verse 5]
If you could
If you could
If you could read my mind

[Verse 6]
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
When you reach the part
Well the high it comes
The hero won't be you
Heroes often fell

[Verse 6]
I never thought I'd 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
If you could
If you could read my mind
If you could
If you could
If you could read my mind
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 feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
