It's a matter of time before I go back there A matter of time before I go home I have been way 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 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 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 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
