A Matter Of Time Lyrics

A Matter Of Time lyrics

Goin´ every night, to the place you´d be  

  But you never did catch on.  

  I´d always try to draw you near  

  Just by playin´ one more song.  

  To wait for the right moment,  

  Was my first mistake.  

  If I knew then what I know now,  

  You´d be mine to take, I´d take you away.  

  

  You talk of your tomorrows,  

  They sound like yesterdays I´ve told.  

  Are you too much like a little child,  

  Or is it that I´m growing old?  

  The questions that you´d ask me,  

  I didn´t know what to say  

  And when I had the answers, girl,  

  You turned and walked away.  

  

  That´s when I figured out that -  

  

  I was born too early, and you were born too late.  

  No way that you´re gonna catch me.  

  No way that I can wait.  

  I´d trade away tomorrow for an hour here today -  

  But I know you belong to another -  

  You belong to another man.  

  

  Well I know what´s said about what it costs.  

  When you play too close to home.  

  Keep away from trouble, boy  

  And leave that little girl alone.  

  

  It´s hot enough to feel the heat,  

  Too close and you´ll get burned.  

  Now I´ve no time to teach you girl,  

  And you don´t want to learn
