If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' 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 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 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 the ending's just to hard to take.


I'd walk away just 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.




If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' 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 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 feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
