It's a Matter of Time

It's a matter of time before I go back there A matter of time before I go home I have been away 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 just a matter of time She'll see me I know; it's a matter of time
