Gordon Lightfoot Quote

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel just like the kind a drug store would sell
When you reach the part where the heart aches come the hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again because the endings just too hard to take..

If You Could Read My Mind, Track 8, Reprise - Sit Down Young Stranger (1970)
