If You Could Read My Mind Olivia Newton John Borrowed Tales
If You Could Read My Mind - Olivia Newton John
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 cant 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 endings 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 lets be real, I never thought I could act this way And Ive got to say that I just dont get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feelins gone and I just cant 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 feelins gone and I just cant get it back
