It' a matter of time before I go back there    A Matter of time before I go home.            I have been away from her now and for a long time     and I've lived a life I though 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 - Lord before I go home              it' 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 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 - Lord before I go home             it' a long way I know and the going ain't easy    She'll see me again it's a matter of time.        She'll see me I know it's just a matter of time.
