I’ve got to see you my old flame | |
Carefree highway | |
You’ve seen better days | |
The morning after blues | |
From my head down to my shoes | |
Carefree highway | |
Let me slip away, | |
Slip away on you | |

I can picture every move that a man could make | |
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake | |
Sundown, you better take care | |
If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs | |
Sometimes I think it’s a sin | |
When I feel like I’m winning when I’m losing again | |

I was wandering around YouTube today and stumbled upon this old favorite… And, yes, it is one of the songs you can find off of my “Poems” page and more specifically off of my “Song Lyrics And Videos” page. The lyrics are awesome and well worth reading after listening to / viewing the video and then (again) during the song. | ||
If You Could Read My Mind |
||
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 | ||
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 the drugstore would sell. | ||
When you reach the part | ||
Where the heartaches come | ||
The hero would be me. | ||
The heroes often fail. | ||
And you won’t read that book again | ||
Because the ending’s | ||
Just to hard to take. | ||
I 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 | ||
Lets be real. | ||
I never knew | ||
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 feelings 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 | ||
But 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 left. | ||
I never thought | ||
I could feel this way | ||
And I got to say | ||
That I just don’t get it. | ||
I don’t know where we went wrong | ||
But the feelings gone | ||
And I just can’t get it back. | ||

Today, I offer two more great song lyrics. The first is: “If You Could Read My Mind“, by Gordon Lightfoot. It’s a haunting song about love lost, failed heroes, myths and real life. Gordon Lightfoot has been justly described as Canada’s Bob Dylan. I agree. | |
The second song will always remind me of my roommate in Germany, when I was in the Army – David Birdsong. Dave was a big country music fan and this was one of his favorite songs whenever we’d start drinking. He didn’t actually “believe” the words, but he loved the attitude. Needless to say, at one point or another, if I dated a lady more than a few times, I played this for them. Their reaction was always a perfect indication of whether or not they had a sense of humor and if we would have any chance together… “Put Another Log On The Fire“, by Shel Silverstein. | |
Again, both of these songs have to be heard to truly be appreciated – then come back and read the words again. | |
