If you could
Read my mind, love
Just like an
Old-iime movie

'Boui a ghost
From a wishing well
In a casile dark,

Or a fortress strong

Wiih chains upon my feet
You know ihaf 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
P0 perback novel

The kind the

Drug stores sell
When you reach the part
Where the

Headaches 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
(Instrumental Break)
I walk away
Like a movie star
Who gets burned

In a ihree-woy script
Enter, number two
A movie queen
To play ihe scene

Of bringing all the
Good things ou1 in me
I never thought
I could ad this way

And I've got to say
That I iusf don't get if
I don't know

Where we went wrong

But he feeling's gone
And I iusf can't get it back
If you could
Read my mind, love

What a tale
My thoughts could tell
Just like an
Old-iime movie

'Boui a ghost
From a wishing well
In a castle dark
Or a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
If you read
Between the lines

You'll know that

I'm iust tryin' to
Understand
I never thought
I could feel this way

And I've got to say
That I iusf don't get if
I don't know

Where we went wrong

But he feeling's gone
And I iusf can't get it back
