Just a Matter of Time Songtext
von Unto Others

Innocence dies in a single night
And I cry in the pouring rain
Dragged myself up all those stairs
I gotta be a man again

Such a lonely night
There′s a man in the sky looking down on me
It's a bittersweet
Discomforting emotion

You are heard
I hear your last words son of mine
It′s just a matter of time
The wheel turns around again and
The cold air's kind yeah

Men are first to see the sign but
It's just a matter of time
For men are small and dying embers
The smoke is small the smoke is fine


Working on air it′s a shame to bear
It′s a weight that works on me
We can wait here we can bear
But can we wait another week

Would you go to bed
What are you going to be when the wind comes in?
It's a bittersweet
Discomforting emotion

I don′t know which way the wind blows
Son of mine it's just a matter of time

The wheel turns around again and
The cold air′s kind
Men are first to see the sign but
It's just a matter of time
For men are small and dying embers
The smoke is small the smoke is fine...

You are heard
I hear you speak

Son of mine
It′s just a matter of time


The wheel turns around again and
The cold air's kind yeah
Men are first to see the sign but
It's just a matter of time
For men are small and dying embers
The smoke is small the smoke is fine

And don′t you mind
The air turns the wind to water
The cold air′s kind yeah

Ay ay ay ay don't you mind
Win or lose the wind′s forever
