Heard 2nite, no idea who, what, when

Hi, heard a song tonite on tv prog.
Words i could get down are :

If you could read my mind love
what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie .... .... ....

..... ...... ......... etc.
The above appeared more than one during the song.

also, :

I will never be set free
as long as i'm a ghost ..... ..... .....

It was in a tv prog as said, but i have heard it in the past, i think maybe many moons ago.

Anyone have any ideas who, when, what this piece is called.

Many thanks.

Michelle.

Gordon Lightfoot, If you could read my mind.

Thank you so much. BRILL.
Got to go and find that song now.

Michelle
