I think it is my favourite song by Gordon Lightfoot called ' If You Could Read My Mind' - he is a Canadian singer - and loads of other artists have done his songs as cover versions.

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 Im a ghost that you cant see

Oh I love that song too Tinacee. First time I heard it was on Trigger happy tv of all things!

Point of interest Rache1 79 - Dom Jolie wanted to include the track on his compilation CD's from THTV, but Mr Lightfoot''s record label wouldn't licence it!

Fabulous use of the song though - discount for small faces ... no beards ... wonderful!
