A Matter Of Time Lyrics

Town clock stopped tickin', but it ain't broken
Got a problem that no one can define
While that river keeps on a-flowin'
Hang on children, it's a matter of time

Angry child, impatience growin'
Waits with her father in that unemployment line
While that river goes on a-flowin'
Hang on darlin', it's a matter of time

Scarecrow watchin' years of growin'
With floods of asphalt creepin' closer each time
While that river goes on a-flowin'
Hang on brother, it's a matter of time

Sparrow, she's sleepin' with now way of knowin' What's goin' on inside those telephone lines
Below, that river keeps on a-flowin'
Hang on sister it's a matter of time

Some say God created man, his likeness showin'
I do believe they've got it backwards this time
Somehow that river goes on a-flowin'
Hang on children, it's a matter of time

Tainted river flows to the ocean
That coughs up on the shore its poisonous brine
Why don't that river just stop a-flowin'
Hang on children, it's a matter of time
