Written by: 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
