Angus and Julia Stone – Take You Away Lyrics 12 years ago
This song is a very deep and tender song, but it hides many meanings and many emotions. Let's start off with a few basic ones.

In the beginning, s/he states how life is very grey and sad, pretty much self-explanatory. It is saying how the people that s/he loves have no good opinions, and how even if s/he LOVES them they have nothing LOVEly to say. It's saying how they are not there for him/her, and do not care.

The second part, states how after working a hard day, after taking on the load and pushing through it all, that things do not feel as they should. Lonely and empty, s/he battles on. What s/he means by "when your bed is cold, and the sheep are at your door" states how when s/he is tired, and drowsy (the sheep come in from the whole counting sheep idea) the futile and meaningless sensation leaves him/her cold and alone.

"I'll take you away" means that when things feel like they are just crumbling down, leaving you under a heap of nothingness, that s/he will be there to take you away. To take you away from all the struggles that life loads on your shoulders.

The last part, is also self-explanatory. The whole "coffee-bean" part is probably, like Roxx means, is from his/her job. Working at a Cafe could be how his/her lifestyle is, and when the smell just won't go away, probably means that the struggle of work just won't leave her at peace.
