Song Description

Great song by Gordon Lightfoot. My good friends helped me capture the vibe. Hope ya like.

Lyrics

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 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 see

If I could read your mind love / what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel / the kind the drugstore sells /

When you reach the part / where the heartaches come / the hero would be me / heroes often fail /And you won't read that book again / because the endings 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 feelings 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 / the story always ends
If you read between the lines / you'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feeling that you left / I never thought I could feel this way / I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong / but the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
