If Yous Could Read My Mind, �1969 by Gordon Lightfoot If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Simply like an old time movie, 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle nighttime or a fortress strong, With bondage upon my anxiety. You lot know that ghost is me. And I volition never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. If I could read your listen, dearest, What a tale your thoughts could tell. Just like a paperback novel, The kind the drugstores sell. So yous reached the part where the heartaches come, The hero would be me. Only heroes oftentimes fail, And yous won't read that volume again Considering the catastrophe's just likewise hard to take! I'd walk away like a moving-picture show star Who gets burned in a iii way script. Enter number two: A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the skillful things out in me. But for now, love, let's be real; 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'south gone And I merely tin can't get information technology back. If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. But like an old fourth dimension moving-picture show, 'Tour a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong. With chains upon my feet. Merely stories always end, And if y'all read betwixt the lines, Y'all'd know that I'k just tryin' to sympathize The feelin'southward that you lack. I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I only don't get information technology. I don't know where we went wrong, But the feelin's gone And I just can't get it back!
