Don Williams - If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics
(Gordon Lightfoot)If you could read my mind love,What a tale my thoughts could tellJust like an old time movie,Bout a ghost from a wishin wellIn a castle dark or a fortress strongWith chains upon my feet,You know that ghost is me.And I will never be set free,As long as Im a ghost you cant see.If I could read your mind love,What a tale your thoughts could tellJust like a paperback novel,The kind the drugstore sellWhen you reach the partWhere the heartaches comeThe hero would be me,Heroes often failAnd you wont need that book again,Because the endings just too hard to take.--- Instrumental ---Id walk away like a movie starWho gets burned in a freeway script,Enter number twoA movie queen to play the scene,Of bringing all the good things out in meBut for now love lets be real,I never thought I could act this wayAnd Ive got to say that I just dont get itI dont know where we went wrongBut the feelins gone and I just cant get it back.If you could read my mind love,What a tale my thoughts could tellJust like an old time movie,Bout a ghost from a wishin wellIn a castle dark or a fortress strongWith chains upon my feet,The story always endsAnd if you read between the linesYoull know that Im just tryin to understandThe feelings that you lackI never thought I could feel this wayAnd Ive got to say that I just dont get it.I dont know where we went wrongBut the feelins gone and I just cant get it back...
