Lyrics
Many lives have come before me
Many lives will come after
Many days I've been suffering
Many nights I've been alone
It's just a matter of time before I'm gone
My children don't need me no more
Just a face in a book on the wall
It's just a matter of time
So if I look old and weary
I guess it's just my time to go
For I lived years a plenty
I have seen all there is to show
It's just a matter of time before I'm gone
Farewell to my daughters and son
I'll be looking down from above
It's just a matter of time
