One of my favorite songs of all time, created AcoustatTronically in my own way with all due respect to the Mighty Canadian Balladeer Songwriter, and Performing Artist, Gordon Lightfoot. Vocals, Guitars, and Production by Riff Beach via RiffWerx Records - 2021. If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot - circa 1970 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 wishing 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 that 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 drugstores sell When you reach the part where the heartaches come, the hero won't be me Because heroes often fail You won't read that book again, because the end is just too hard to take 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 bringin' 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 feeling's gone.... And, I just can't get it back (Repeat Chorus 'Blended' Verse.....and Out)
