It's a Matter of Time
A Journey Back Home: Elvis Presley's Timeless Reflection
Lyrics
It's a matter of time before I go back there
Anticipating a return to a specific place in the future; suggesting a planned journey.
A matter of time before I go home
Expressing the inevitability of going back home, emphasizing the temporal aspect.
I have been away from her now for a long time
Acknowledging a prolonged separation from a significant person, possibly a loved one.
And I've lived a life I thought that it should be
Reflecting on the speaker's life experiences, comparing them to a personal ideal.
It's a long, long way from now to maybe sometime
Highlighting the considerable distance between the present moment and a vague future point.
And the waiting 'round is really killing me
Expressing impatience and frustration with the prolonged waiting period.
It's a matter of time before I go back there
Reiterating the anticipation of returning to a specific place in the future.
A matter of time, oh Lord, before I go home
Emphasizing the inevitable return home with a religious reference ("oh Lord").
It's a long way I know and the goin' ain't easy
Acknowledging the challenging and lengthy journey ahead.
She'll see me again; it's a matter of time
Confidently stating that the speaker will be reunited with the person after some time.
I think I'll take a train right early in the morning
Contemplating taking a train early in the morning as part of the journey.
Just to see how far I get along the way
Expressing a willingness to embark on the journey and see how far the speaker can progress.
But the trains don't run too often, only sometimes
Noting the infrequency of trains, implying potential delays in the planned journey.
So I guess I'd better wait another day
Acknowledging the need to wait for another day due to limited train availability.
It's a matter of time before I go back there
Repeating the anticipation of returning to a specific place, emphasizing the temporal aspect again.
A matter of time before I go home
Reiterating the inevitability of going back home with a focus on time.
It's a long way I know and the goin' ain't easy
Acknowledging the difficulty of the journey, emphasizing the challenges faced.
She'll see me again; it's just a matter of time
Confidently stating that the person will see the speaker again, reiterating the temporal aspect.
She'll see me I know; it's a matter of time
Expressing certainty that the person will see the speaker again, emphasizing the temporal aspect.
