It's a matter of time,
before I go back there.
A matter of time,
before I go home.
I have been way from her,
now for a long time.
And I've lived a life
I thought that it should be.
It's a long, long way from now
to maybe sometime
and the waiting round is really killing me.
It's a matter of time,
before I go back there.
A matter of time oh Lord,
before I go home.
It's a long way I know
and the goin' ain't easy
She'll see me again,
it's a matter of time.
I think I'll take a train right early in the morning,
just to see how far I get along the way.
But the trains don't run too often, only sometimes,
so I guess I'd better wait another day.
It's a matter of time,
before I go back there.
A matter of time,
before I go home.
It's a long way I know
and the goin' ain't easy
She'll see me again,
it's a matter of time.
She'll see me I know,
it's a matter of time.
