T'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
