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 thougt 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 going aint easy She'll see me again, it's just 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 oh Lord, before I go home It's a long way I know, and the going aint easy She'll see me again, it's just a matter of time She'll see me I know, It's just a matter of time
