If you could read my mind　　Gordon Lightfoot (Gordon Lightfoot) If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie about 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 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 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 feeling'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 about a ghost from a wishing well In 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 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 feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

如果你懂我的心　　戈登萊特福 如果你懂我的心，吾愛 我的腦海裡訴說著什麼故事呢？ 像是一部關於從許願池飄來的幽靈的老電影 在黑暗的城堡或堅固的堡壘裡 被鎖鍊拴住了腳 你知道那個幽靈就是我 而我永遠無法被人釋放 只要我是那個你能看到的幽靈 如果我懂你的心，吾愛 你的腦海裡訴說著什麼故事呢？ 就像一本平裝本小說 那種在藥房裡賣的書 然而你讀到了令人心痛的情節 那個英雄可能是我 但英雄通常功敗垂成 而你再也不會想讀這本書了 因為故事的結局太令人難以接受 我會像有三套劇情的戲裡遭到賜死的電影明星一樣離開 然後進入第二套劇情，一位電影皇后演出的場景 掏空了我內心所有美好的事物 但現在，吾愛，讓我們回到現實 我從沒想過我會有這樣的表現 我得說我就是無法明白 我不知道我們到底哪裡做錯 但是感覺一旦消失，我再也找不回來 如果你懂我的心，吾愛 我的腦海裡訴說著什麼故事呢？ 像是一部關於從許願池飄來的幽靈的老電影 在黑暗的城堡或堅固的堡壘裡 被鎖鍊拴住了腳 但是故事總會結束 如果你細讀字裡行間 你會瞭解我只是想試著理解 你所缺少的感覺 我從未想到我會有這種感覺 我得說我就是無法明白 我不知道我們到底哪裡出了錯 但是感覺一旦消失，我再也找不回來
