Take It In Lyrics

Now she's thinking of the red soil
And the mango trees
In her mind she's still splashing 'round
Down on Cable Beach
And her eyes, they are as rich and faraway
As the sunset there
She's not taking in a word I say
Well I might as well be talking to myself

Take it in, take it all in
Now is a time yhat
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is a day that
Is here for the living

So we step outside
Into this Melbourne weather
With a shock it
Brings her back to where she is
Now we've made this place our home
Surrounded by unknown
We're gonna stick it out
Until it comes together

Take it in, take it all in
Now is a time that
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is a day and
It's here for the living

We're only living for a day
To come or some days gone by
Never taking in each moment
Never knowing what you had
Until it passed you by
And it'll pass you by

Take it in, take it all in
Now is a time that
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is the day and
It's here for the living

Take it all in
Now is a time that
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is the day and
It's here for the living
