Songtexte: Don Williams. If You Could Read My Mind.

:
If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie, ?bout 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?t see

If I could read your mind love,What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel, The kind the drugstore sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me, heroes often fail

And you won?t need 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 freeway 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 feelin?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, ?bout a ghost from a wishin? well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet, the story always ends

And if you read between the lines
You?ll know that I?m just tryin? 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 feelin?s gone and I just can?t get it back
