Thanks a lot for finding that link, #. And this is the version on Gordon Bok's 2012 Because You Asked CD. This is much closer to Cooper's original lyrics

MY IMAGES COME
(Don Cooper)

My images come
From the people who do the work
...who sing the songs
...who live the life
& ...who get along
And a bottle of rum
For the demon that always lurk
For the demon that do me wrong
For the fury that is my wife
And the struggle that is my song

O, It get me down sometime
It get me down but only
A little look around & I find
That I am not so lonely
We in the same boat brother
We in the same boat brother

My images come
From the pleasure I had before
...I'm still to know
...my dreams provide
& ... that I bestow
And a bottle of rum
For the trouble that's at my door
For the trouble where'er I go
For the misfortunes I abide
And the courage I am tryin' to show

And my images come
From the woman that's on my knee
...that's in my head
...out in the sun
& ...that shares my bed
And a bottle of rum
For a broken love's misery
For a love that has grown so dead,
Expectations my life's undone
And illusions that I've been fed

My images come
From the world in which I live
...I love so well
...of change & light
& the world of which I tell
And a bottle of rum
For the feelings I cannot give
For the feelings my fears impel
For the screams of a fraughtful night
And the time that is spent in hell
