I was at work the other day and this song came on from Gordon Lightfoot, Now I seem to think along with half of the other girls at work that Cher sang a remake or something with AT LEAST some of the lyrics, its now become an argument with a couple ofthe older ladies that it never happened. can anyone help me?
"If you Could read my mind"
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark, or a fortress stron
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
Then you reached the part, where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heros often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to tak.
I'ld wall 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
I don't know where we went wrong bit the fellin's gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale your 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
But the stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
The feelin's that you lack
I never thought I could act this way and I've got to say taht 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.
