All the places I've been
make it hard to begin
to enjoy life again on the inside,
but I mean to.
Take a walk ‘round the block
and be glad that I've got
me some time to be in
from the outside,
and inside with you.
I'm sitting on the corner feeling glad.
Got no money coming in
but I can't be sad.
That was the best cup of coffee
I ever had.
And I won't worry about a thing
because we've got it made,
here on the inside,
outside so far away.
And we'll laugh and we'll sing
get someone to bring,
our friends here for tea
in the evening --
And Jeffrey makes three.
Take a walk in the park,
does the wind in the dark
sound like music to you?
Well I'm thinking it does to me.
Can you cook, can you sew --
well, I don't want to know.
That is not what you need on the inside,
to make the time go.
Counting lambs, counting sheep
we will fall into sleep
and we awake to a new day of living
and loving you so.
Inside
