If these can be of help to anyone unfortunate enough to being stuck in the mires of heartbreak, here you go!
[Verse 1]
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 you can't see
[Verse 1]
Operator, oh could you help me place this call?
See the number on a matchbook is old and faded
She's livin' in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
[Chorus]
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
[Verse 1]
I got the call today
And I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours
Was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me
And you lost you
