now she's thinking of the red soil and those mango trees

well in her mind she's still splashing round down on cable beach

and her eyes are as rich and as far away

as the sunset there

but she's not taking in a word i say

so i might as well be talking to my self



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 its here for the living



so we stepped out side into this melbourne weather

and with a shock it brings her back to where she is

well 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 the time that will not come again

take it in take it all in

this is the day and its here for the living



we're only living for a day or some days gone by

you'll take it in each moment

never notice what you had until it passed you by, passed you by



so 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 its here for the living



take it all in

now is the time that will not come again

takle it in yeah yeah (take it all in) take it all in

(this is the day that is here for the living)

this is the day and its here for the living
