All the places I've been make it hard to begin
To enjoy life again on the iniside;
But I mean to.
Take a walk around the block
And be glad that I got
Me sometimes to be in from the outside
And inside you.

I'm sitting in the corner feeling glad
Got no money coming in but I can't be sad.
So far's the best cup of coffee that I ever had.
And I don't worry about this thing
Because we've got it made
Here on the inside: outside so far away.

And we laugh and we sing, get someone to bring
Our friends here for tea in the evening;
Old 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 it's not what you need on the inside
To make the time go.
Counting lambs, counting sheep we will fall into sleep
And awake to a new day of living
And loving you so.
