[ti:If You Could Read My Mind]
[ar:Johnny Cash]
[00:10.48] If you could read my mind love
[00:14.11] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[00:18.19] Just like an old time movie
[00:21.82] Bout a ghost from a wishin well
[00:25.77] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[00:30.66] With chains upon my feet
[00:34.71] You know that ghost is me
[00:38.88] And I will never be set free
[00:42.56] As long as I'm a ghost you cant see
[00:51.61] If I could read your mind love
[00:55.19] What a tale your thoughts could tell
[00:59.13] Just like a paperback novel
[01:03.15] The kind the drugstore sell
[01:07.03] When you reach the part
[01:09.72] Where the heartaches come
[01:12.20] The hero would be me
[01:16.16] Heroes often fail
[01:19.97] And you won't read that book again
[01:23.69] Because the ending just too hard to take
[01:44.46] I'd walk away like a movie star
[01:49.20] Who gets burned in a freeway script
[01:53.52] Enter number two
[01:57.44] A movie queen to play the scene
[02:01.06] Of bringing all the good things out in me
[02:06.84] But for now love lets be real
[02:11.01] I never thought I could act this way
[02:14.51] And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
[02:19.49] I don't know where we went wrong
[02:22.61] But the feelins gone and I just cant get it back
[02:35.77] If you could read my mind love
[02:39.29] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[02:43.26] Just like an old time movie
[02:47.18] Bout a ghost from a wishin well
[02:51.04] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[02:56.09] With chains upon my feet
[03:00.06] The story always ends
[03:04.17] And if you read between the lines
[03:07.70] You'll know that I'm just tryin to understand
[03:14.04] The feelings that you lack
[03:18.00] I never thought I could feel this way
[03:21.59] And I've got to say that I just don't get it
[03:26.32] I don't know where we went wrong
[03:29.38] But the feelins gone and I just cant get it back
