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, 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 drugstore sells. When you reach the part where the heartaches come the hero would be me.
