In My Imagination

Patti Scialfa


When I was young 
I believe in everything
I turned my rag man into king
And I carved him 
A soft world from hard stone
With a laurel crown 
And a velvet throne
'Cause in my imagination
Was a world no one could touch, no
I had a fascination 
For little things 
That don't mean much, in my

Now tomorrow comes abandoning
Painted ponies 
And a little brass ring
Well I got that ring 
I pulled it down
And my little girls 
World came tumbling down
'Cause in my imagination
Was a world 
No one could touch, no
I had a fascination for
Little things 
That don't mean much, in my
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination

I could walk without fear and
I could hide from all my sorrow
Close my eyes and disappear

Now I lay awake 
and I'm so afraid
Will the things 
I treasure fade away
And leave me standing here alone
With no way back 
To the world I'd known
'Cause in my imagination
Was a world no one could touch, no
I had a fascination for
Little things 
That don't mean much, in my
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
