Take It In

Now she's thinkin' of the red soil and the mango trees
But in her mind she is splashing 'round down on Cable Beach
And her eyes, they are as rich and faraway as the sunset there
She's not taking in one word I say
I might as well be talking to myself

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

And we stepped outside into the Melbourne weather
With a shock it brings her back to where she is
Well, we've made this place our home
Surrounded by the unknown
We'll try to stick it out until it comes together

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

We're only living for a day to come or some days gone by
You're never taking in each moment
Never knowing what you had until it passed you by
It'll pass you by

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