Taking It In
James Taylor
Morning, sing me a song
Afternoon, bring it along
Nighttime, show me a friend
Say it again
Send a good dream my way
Wednesday, feeling just fine
I got to say time on my hands
Friday, look at them run
Show me some fun
Taking the sunshine in
God knows you've got to give yourself
Time to think these days
Lord knows you've got to take enough
Time to look both ways
The pieces fly by so quickly now
Laura, look at you walk
I swear you've got eyes in my head
I'd like to follow you down
Show you around
Borrow the crown you wear
Bacon, lie on the plate
Two black-eyed peas wait on the side
Gravy chicken and rice
Isn't it nice
Tell me the price of the food
What happens when the answers they give you
Aren't good enough
What happens when it rains for eight days
On your week off
You know you can't buy tomorrow, no
It's all a matter of opening up your eyes
And looking around 'cause it's all there, it's all there
I said taking the sunshine in
