If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts would tell

Just like an 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 ghost is me



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, yeah



If you could read your mind love

What a tale my thoughts would tell

Just like a paperback novel

The kind that drugstores sell

When you reach the part where the heartache comes

The hero would be you

Heroes often fail



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



If you could

If you could

If you could read my mind (repeat)



If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts would tell

Just like an old time movie

'Bout a ghost from a wishing well



If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts would tell

Just like a paperback novel

The kind that drugstores sell



And when you reach the part where the heartache comes

The hero would be you

Heroes often fail



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

If you could

If you could read my mind
