(Words & music by Clive Westlake)   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
