paroles de chanson If You Could Read My Mind - Don Williams

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.
