If You Could Read my Mind

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

(32O2O3) (x2)     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 wishin'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 that drugstores sell     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   I d 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 bringing 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 feelin's gone And I just can't get it back                       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 wishin'well     In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet But stories always end And if you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just tryin'to understand The feelin's that you lack I never thought I could feel 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 feelin's gone And I just can't get it back

La chanson évoque une profonde introspection sur les sentiments d'amour et de perte. L'artiste se demande ce que l’autre penserait s’il pouvait lire dans son esprit, illustrant un récit tragique de désillusion et de souffrance. Il se compare à un fantôme, prisonnier de ses propres émotions, conscient de la distance qui s'est créée entre lui et l’autre personne. Il explore également le paradoxe de l’amour non partagé, où les rêves et les espoirs se heurtent à la dure réalité. L'image d'une histoire d'amour qui ne se termine pas bien est omniprésente, rappelant que parfois, il est difficile de comprendre ce qui a mal tourné dans une relation. La mélancolie est palpable, marquée par un désir de retrouver des sentiments perdus, mais la compréhension semble hors de portée.
