It's a Matter of Time

It's a matter of time before I go back there

A matter of time before I go homeI 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 meIt'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 timeI 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
