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 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
