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 ho-  o-  ome

It’s a long way I know and the going ain’t easy

She’ll see me again it’s a matter of time

I think I’ll take a train bright 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 oh Lord before I go ho-  o-  ome

It’s a long way I know and the going ain’t easy

She’ll see me again it’s a matter of time
