Matter of Time Songtext
von Kevin Devine

Sunday was short and slow and lovely
Slept in past noon, woke up, made coffee
And somewhere between the sheets and shower
We talked about the son and daughter
That we don′t have, but imagined at our side
Well, it's only a matter of time


Some days my love grows disenchanted
When so much she gives, I take for granted
But I′m well aware that she's my compass
The strawberry sun, all grace and sweetness
And when I forget, when it somehow slips my mind
Well, it's only a matter of time

It′s a matter of time
It′s a matter of time
'Til I break the blinders fastened to my eyes
I can see you
Well, it′s only a matter of time

And I found the truth inside the pattern
Of furious sound and ceaseless clatter
The peace in the painful search for meaning
You are the myth made real this evening


And a million more before the clocks unwind
It's only a matter of time
It′s only a matter of time
