If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About 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
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 paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reached the part where the heartaches 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!

I´d walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way 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 feeling´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
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines

You´ll know that I´m just trying 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 feeling´s gone
And I just can´t get it back
