If you could read my mind

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.

If i could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores 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 ending's just too hard to take.

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.

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 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.lyrics here
