Gordon Lightfoot
If You Could Read My Mind
[Intro]
Ooh
Oh, baby

[Verse 1]
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 wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me

[Chorus]
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
If I could read my mind

[Verse 2]
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 reach the part where the heartache comes
The hero would be you
Hеroes often fail
[Pre-Chorus]
Nevеr thought I'd 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

[Chorus]
If you could read my mind
If you could, if you could, if you could read my mind
If you could, if you could, if you could read my mind

[Verse 3]
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 wishing well

[Verse 2]
If I could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartache comes
The hero would be you
Heroes often fail
[Pre-Chorus]
Never thought I'd 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

[Chorus]
If you could read my mind
If you could, if you could, if you could read my mind
If you could, if you could, if you could read my mind
