If You Could Read My Mind

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 wishing well
 In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
 You know that ghost is me
 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, yeah
 If you could read my mind, love
 What a tale my thoughts would tell
 Just like a paperback novel, the kind that drugstores sell
 When you reach the part where the heartache comes, the hero would be you
 Heroes often fail
 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
 If you could, if you could (oh yeah)
 If you could read my mind (if you could read)
 If you could (my mind), if you could (yeah)
 If you could read my mind
 If you could read my mind, love
