Take It In - The Waifs

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 that 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
