Lyrics and translation
Original
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie, but a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet.
You know the ghost is me.
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, yeah.
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like a paperback novel, the kind that drugstore sell.
When you reach the part where the heartache comes, the hero would be you.
Heroes often fail.
Never thought I'd 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 feeling's gone and I just can't get it back.
If you could read my mind.
If you could, if you could, if you could read my mind.
If you could read my mind, love, would a tale my thoughts would tell.
Just like an old time movie, but a ghost from a wishing well.
When you reach the part where the heartache comes, the hero would be you.
Heroes often fail.
Never thought I'd 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 feeling's gone and I just can't get it back.
If you could, if you could, if you could read my mind.
If you could, if you could, if you could read my mind.
