I wish that I could read your mind
Then I'd know you better
I wish that I could read your mind
Maybe I'd forget you
After all we've been through
It should come to this
I wish that I could read your mind
Then I'd know you better

It's not the same
It's not the same
It's not the same
It's not the same

I wish that I could read your mind
Then I'd know you better
I wish that I could read your mind

And I wondered what you ever saw in me
What I ever saw in you
And I wish that I could read your mind
Then I'd know you better

It's not the same etc

From the live performance at the Camden Falcon, London, on 28/8/89

Eight months later, the song was still in the set. However, the lyrics have clearly received some attention, and the song is more fully rounded. Despite this development, it wasn't taken any further though.

I WISH THAT I COULD READ YOUR MIND

I wish that I could read your mind
Then I'd know the things you know
I wish that I could read your mind
All the places that you go
It's been so long since I saw you
Guess you could be anywhere
I'd do anything to see you
There's no place I wouldn't go

It's not the same
Since you've been gone
It's not the same
It's not the same

I wish that I could read your mind
Then I'd know the things that hurt you
I wish that I could read your mind
Know the things that make you happy
But I think I've left it too late now
It's always the same with me
I don't think I'll ever get a wife?
It's destiny

It's not the same
Since you've been gone
It's not the same
It's not the same

I wish that I could read your mind

From the live performance at Linz Posthof, on 3/4/90
