Simple Minds

They said you wouldn't buy my reason
Said you wouldn't buy my innocence
Said this is not the season
These are the days that make no sense
Money can't light this lantern
Power belongs to another place
Hope never lies abandoned
When the moment arrives, you'll hear me say

Imagination
With me tonight
Imagination calling

Said you once took an adventure
To somewhere now that seems so lost
They said I was down with no way back
All the straight lines beneath me were cross

Money can't buy
No, money can't buy
Imagination
With me tonight
Imagination calling
Whole other insight

With me tonight
Imagination
Whole other insight

Said you wouldn't buy my reason
Said you wouldn't buy my innocence
Said this is not the season
These are the days that make no sense
But money can't buy
No, money can't buy
No, money can't buy
No, money can't buy
Imagination
With me tonight
Imagination calling
Whole other insight

Imagination
With me tonight
All those days there was love
And all that space made us high
And all our hearts feel was innocence
Nothing seemed it could die
And all those days there was love
And all that space made us high
And all our hearts feel was innocence
Nothing seemed it would die
