a loosely bound stack of sheet music with lyrics written in faint brown ink

If you could read my

mind What a tale my

thoughts would tell

Just like an old time

ballad About a ghost

from the well of souls

or a castle dark

or a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet

You know the ghost is

me And I will never

be set free

As long as I'm a ghost

you can see

If I could read your mind

What a tale your

thoughts would tell

Just like a leatherbound novel

Like the kind on the Repository shelves

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

But Heroes often fail

And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take

If you could read my mind What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old time ballad about a ghost from the well of souls

or a castle dark

or a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet

The story always ends

And if you read between the lines

You'll know that I'm just trying to understand

The feelings that are left

I never knew Id feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it

I don't know where it went wrong

But the feeling's gone And I just can't get it back.
