If You Could Read My Mind:Gordon Lightfoot.
#5 in 1970.
INTRO:
#1.
/
If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could 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.
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.
#2.
/
If I could read your mind love, what a tale your thoughts could tell.
/
Just like a paperback novel, the kind that the drugstore sells.
When you reach the part where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.
But heroes often fail.
And you won t read that book again, because the ending s just too hard to take.
(INTERLUDE:) / (x2)
CHORUS:
I d 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 I could act 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.

In a castle dark, or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.
But 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 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.
