Imagination
by Goffin / Goldberg 
recording of 1997 
from 
Up & In (Alligator 4851) 
I really got to use my imagination, to keep on keepin' on 
I got to make the best of a bad situation, ever since that day I found you were gone 
Darkness all around me, blockin' out the sun 
My good friends call me but I don't want to talk to anyone 
Emptiness has found me and it just won't let me go 
I go on livin' but why I just don't know 
I really got to use my imagination, to think of a reason 
To keep on holdin' on, I got to make the best of 
A bad situation, ever since that day, I found you were gone 
Drowning out reality won't do me no good 
Ain't no misunderstandin', it's too well understood 
Such a sad, sad season, when a good love dies 
Ain't a day goes by, when I don't realize 
I really got to use my imagination, to think of a reason 
To keep on holdin' on, I got to make the best of 
A bad situation, ever since that day, I found you were gone
