It's Just a Matter of Time
©Jeffrey C. Ashbaker 1-2014

If they had asked me, the last time they saw me
They might have known, just which way I was bound
In their struggle, to love and protect me
They had to let me get lost, to be found

---Chhorus/Refrain 1---
If I perceive it, the way that I believe it
Then the reason may never cross my mind
But if I fake it, along the way I'll make it
It's just a matter of time
-----------------
If I watch, nothing much ever happens
Time passes slowly, the more that I stare
In the end though, the pot always boils
Life is the menu and love is the fare

--Chorus/Refrain 2--
So when the reason agrees with my believing
Then my life and my story will align
I'll reclaim my spirit, my heart can engineer it
It's just a matter of time
--------------------

-Solo (2nd Half chorus) Break-

-Bridge-
Love ones, are coming and they're going
And each heart deserves a second chance
In time, wisdom's gained from knowing
Little thing we barely understand

--Repeat Chorus/Refrain #2--

Very cool song. I caught a bit of Dicky Betts in the guitar work which gives it a roundabout Souther rock style. Great lyrics and great delivery. Well done.

Nice song, loved the back up female vocal harmony very settle but there. You voice is very pleasant to listen too. I hope you do well with this.

This is very traditional folk/country, The story told with rhymes and feet that run faster here and there than the beat. A very competent and pleasant voice that has sung this song Many, many times, It fits it so well. And the story is nice and wise.

A really compelling vocal and storyline. Some really nice guitar changes and lyrics. Very enjoyable.
