LYRICS:
»IfYouCouldReadMyMind«
* If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like and 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 ghosst 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 could tell
Just like a paper back novel
The kind the drug stores sell
Then you reached the part
Where the heartaches come
The heros would be me
But heros 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 of me
But for now, love, let's be real
I vever 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 feelin's gone and I just can't get it back
(Repeat *)
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You know that I'm just tryin' to understand
The feelin's 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 feelin's gone and I just can't get it back
