If You Could Read My Mind - Vikki Carr[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:01]
If you could read my mind love[00:00:09]
What a tale my thoughts could tell[00:00:12]
Just like an old time movie[00:00:17]
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well[00:00:20]
In a castle dark or a fortress strong[00:00:24]
With chains upon my feet[00:00:30]
You know that ghost is me[00:00:34]
And I won't ever be set free[00:00:38]
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see[00:00:42]
If I could read your mind love[00:00:51]
What a tale your thoughts could tell[00:00:54]
Just like a paperback novel[00:00:59]
The kind the drugstores sell[00:01:03]
When you reach the part where the heartaches come[00:01:06]
The hero would be me[00:01:12]
But heroes often fail[00:01:16]
And you won't read that book again[00:01:19]
Because the ending's just too hard to take[00:01:23]
I walk away like a movie star[00:01:45]
Who gets burned in a three way script[00:01:49]
Enter number two[00:01:54]
A Steve McQueen to play the scene[00:01:58]
Of bringing all the good things out in me[00:02:02]
But for now love let's be real[00:02:08]
I never thought I could act this way[00:02:12]
And I've got to say that I just don't get it[00:02:15]
I don't know where we went wrong[00:02:20]
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back[00:02:23]
If you could read my mind love[00:02:33]
What a tale my thoughts could tell[00:02:36]
Just like an old time movie[00:02:41]
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well[00:02:44]
In a castle dark or a fortress strong[00:02:49]
With chains upon my feet[00:02:54]
The story always ends[00:02:58]
If you read between the lines[00:03:02]
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand[00:03:06]
The feeling that you lack[00:03:12]
I never thought I could feel this way[00:03:16]
And I've got to say that I just don't get it[00:03:20]
I don't know where we went wrong[00:03:24]
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back[00:03:28]
I can't get it back[00:03:39]
