Suzanne - "If You Could Read My Mind" (1973)
Transcript
00:13If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
00:20Just like an old-time movie, but a ghost from a wishing well
00:26In a castle dark, or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet
00:34You know that a ghost is me, and I will never be set free
00:42As long as I'm a ghost that you can see
00:50If I could read your mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
00:57Just like a paperback novel, the kind of drugstore I sell
01:03When you reach the part where the heartaches come
01:08The hero would be me, but heroes are me
01:15Then you won't read that book again
01:19Because the ending's just too hard to take
01:37I walk away like a movie star
01:41Who gets burned in a three-way sprint
01:44Enter number two
01:48A movie queen, to play the scene
01:52Of bringing all the good things out in me
01:57But for now, love lets me dream
02:00I never thought I could feel this way
02:04And I've got to say that I just don't get it
02:08I don't know where we went from
02:11But the feeling's gone
02:13And I just can't get it back
02:23If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
02:29Just like an old-time movie
02:33About a ghost from a wishing me
02:36In a castle dark, or a fortress strong
02:41With chains up on my feet
02:44And stories always end
02:47And if you read between the lines
02:52You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
02:58Feelings that you've met
03:00I never thought I could feel this way
03:04And I've got to say that I just don't get it
03:08I don't know where we went from
03:11But the feeling's gone
03:13And I just can't get it back
03:16I don't know where we went from
03:29I don't know where we went from
