  • LYRICS:
    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 you can't see
    If I could read your mind love
    What a tale your thoughts could tell
    Just like a paperback novel
    The kind the drug stores sell
    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
    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 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 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
    But stories always end
    And if you read between the lines
    You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
    The feelings that we lack
    I never thought I could feel this way
    And I've got 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

    This is probably my favourite song of all time. Many different cover versions have been made, but I still like Gordon Lightfoot's original version the best.

      Sandra Allen Hoynacki This is probably my favourite song, so it is easy for me to feel it as I sing it. There have been many, many versions but I still think Gordon Lightfoot's original is the best. I'm glad you like my version though. Thank you Sandy.
