lirik lagu if you could read my mind – elisa rodrigues
if you could read my mind, love
what a tale my thoughts could tell
just like an old time movie
about a ghost from a wishing well
in a castle dark or a fortress strong
with chains around my feet
you know that ghost is me
and i will never be set free
as long as there’s a ghost that you can’t see
if i could read your mind, love
what a tale your thoughts would tell
just like a paperback novel
the kind of drugstore sell
when you reach the part where the heartaches comes
the hero would be me
but heroes often fail
and you won’t read that book again
because the ending’s just too hard to take
and i walk 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
and i don’t know where we went wrong
but the feeling’s gone and i just can’t get it back
if you could read my mind, love
what a tale my thoughts could tell
