It's Carnival Time

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
