If You Could Read My Mind Testo

(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...
