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.
