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
BUT it's a long, long way from now UNTIL 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 BRIGHT early in the morning
Just to see how far I'LL 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
