Don Williams - If You Could Read My Mind lyrics
(Gordon Lightfoot) 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 drugstore sell When you reach the part Where the heartaches come The hero would be me, Heroes often fail And you won’t need that book again, Because the ending’s just too hard to take. --- Instrumental --- I’d walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a freeway 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 feelin’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, The story always ends And if you read between the lines You’ll know that I’m just tryin’ to understand The feelings 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... |
