(Through Rose-Coloured Glasses)<\/strong><\/p>\n

If You Could Read My Mind, by Gordon Lightfoot, is one of the most covered songs in popular music history, having been recorded by stars like Barbra Streisand, Olivia Newton-John, Duane Steele, Petula Clark, Kenny Rogers, Gene Clark, Don McLean, Liza Minnelli, Johnny Cash, and – in disco versions – by Viola Wills and Stars On 54.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is one of Lightfoot\u2019s most personal songs, mourned the break up of his first marriage. You can feel his anguish, lost and confusion. He did not know why their feelings for each other were gone, and could never get it back again. He wanted to move on, but like a ghost in a wishing well, his sorrow imprisoned him for life.<\/em><\/p>\n

If You Could Read My Mind <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a91969 by Gordon Lightfoot<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you could read my mind, love,
\nWhat a tale my thoughts could tell.
\nJust like an old time movie,
\n‘Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
\nIn a castle dark or a fortress strong,
\nWith chains upon my feet.
\nYou know that ghost is me.
\nAnd I will never be set free
\nAs long as I’m a ghost that you can’t see.<\/p>\n

If I could read your mind, love,
\nWhat a tale your thoughts could tell.
\nJust like a paperback novel,
\nThe kind the drugstores sell.
\nThen you reached the part where the heartaches come,
\nThe hero would be me.
\nBut heroes often fail,
\nAnd you won’t read that book again
\nBecause the ending’s just too hard to take!<\/p>\n

I’d walk away like a movie star
\nWho gets burned in a three way script.
\nEnter number two:
\nA movie queen to play the scene
\nOf bringing all the good things out in me.
\nBut for now, love, let’s be real;
\nI never thought I could feel this way
\nAnd I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it.
\nI don’t know where we went wrong,
\nBut the feeling’s gone
\nAnd I just can’t get it back.<\/p>\n

If you could read my mind, love,
\nWhat a tale my thoughts could tell.
\nJust like an old time movie,
\n‘Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
\nIn a castle dark or a fortress strong.
\nWith chains upon my feet.
\nBut stories always end,
\nAnd if you read between the lines,
\nYou’d know that I’m just tryin’ to understand
\nThe feelin’s that we lack.
\nI never thought I could feel this way
\nAnd I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it.
\nI don’t know where we went wrong,
\nBut the feelin’s gone
\nAnd I just can’t get it back!<\/p>\n
